Water filler advice

Post by jordan01070 »

Hi I'm trying to find a replacement filler and cap as the old one is seized and I cannot remove it, I have put a photo of it below.

I have found this one but I think it is bigger water filler than the one on the van.

thanks

That doesn't look like a factory filler surround to me - it has had some serious hacking to make it almost fit. Presumably not a factory cap either.

That one is different - the left hand flange hasn't been re-shaped like the one above.

It looks like autosleeper did just use one that is similar to the cak one and shape the left corner to fit the wheel arch. Thank you all for your help
