Water Filling Point Damage?

[Beeechke1]

Hi hoping someone can advise. I have damaged the top of the water tank filling point such that the cap does not stay in place when fully rotated (see photo - damage at seven o'clock) Has anyone any experience of replacing this part? Whats involved? Any pictures would be great.

Thanks WelshGas any idea where to buy the parts I need please?

It should be fairly easy, the mounting plate is orderable from any dealer and is held in place from the inside by speed nuts. There is a thread on the forum describing how to do the job https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/thread...ook-up-sticking-out-at-front.6988/#post-61335

If the cap is damaged you have the choice of buying a genuine VW one or one from any caravan parts shop as there are others that fit perfectly.

I dont know how it happened... one minute it is there and then the next time I check it is gone! I am talking about the water cap and the housing that the cap sits in. Yes, that's right it isn't just the cap thats missing.

Any ideas how I fix this?

When I broke mine and could no longer fit the cap I replaced the whole unit. there is a thread here with good information from other forum members. https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/water-filling-point-damage.28442/#post-327443

Thanks seems like I need item 31. I dont see how it could be held in place except by glue. Hmmm
