Water cap ‘teeth’ broken

[Ross MacLeod]

Hi all - With the drinking water tank has anyone replaced the part that the water cap screws into? (Not the cap itself). If so, where from and what was involved?

(I think the previous owner has clumsily grappled with the lock in the past and has snapped/cracked 2 of the 3 teeth/gaps that enable the locking mechanism to work - apologies for the confusing description!)

Thanks

That fitting was only a push for on our 2017 Ocean. On ours it fell off(!), so I glued it on with sikaflex. Try pulling the broken fitting gently- it may come off and then the part can be replaced.

Thanks - good to know. I’ll give that a try, hopefully there’ll be some kind of serial number on it.

This could be helpful for you :

Plastic surround for water and hook-up sticking out at front

Has anyone had the problem that I'm experiencing with the leading edge of the plastic surroud (electrics and water filler) sticking out? Mine would appear to have no fastenings to hold it in place.!!!

Ours was broken as well. So the cap didnt stay on very well. Was easy to loose. Vw replaced the entire thing (the black 'plastic' box that houses bothe the water and the ehu-unit). Cost 80 euros.

Don’t get too technical. The photos are fine and the website software adjusts them automatically.
