Ah, the Stupid Mistakes We Make...

Hey All,



So apparently I hadn't had enough coffee before I went to the gas station on my way to work this morning. I filled up, bought some juice, cleaned my windshield and back window, put the nozzle back into its holster, and drove away without closing my gas tank. Needless to say, I was a little dismayed as I watched my gas cap roll off across four lanes of moderate traffic through my side-view mirror after hearing a small *clunk*.



So my question is, where's a good (reliable) place to order a Volkswagen gas cap for a 2000 Jetta GL? I would just go to Schuck's and grab an aftermarket one, but the last time I tried that (with a '97 Jetta) it gave me compression problems - as it just wasn't a VW part.

Try your local NAPA. Blackamp makes good oem parts

. They show the part for $21 and they primarily carry parts by OEM manufacturers.

Todd Seattle,WA '86 GTI, Red of course. (exciting racey car) 265,000 miles '87 Golf, Polar Silver. (boring work car) 627,000 miles

I bet a VW dealer has one!
