Volvo Easy? Fuel Filler Flap Replacement V70, XC70,S60, S80, XC90 

Brilliant thanks - this helped me just do it on my 2001 volvo v70 XC.

This is a frustrating design and it's really easy to break the new part (the little tabs that go into the holes snap easily in cold weather) so I think it's important to show people that it isn't as simple as other videos imply. Care must be taken. The hinge MUST be pressed tight against the body before the pin is pushed in. It will never happen unless you break off the pins and insert them partway before starting out. It requires some sort of tool like a large punch like you used. A hammer will never get in there properly. That all becomes very clear watching you suffer through the learning curve, and that helped me get it right the first time. Thanks for the unedited video that includes all the stuff that didn't work. It was genuinely helpful, where other videos just come across as "look how good I am at this" from professional car guys without showing the pitfalls.

Just pull off the little 3mm plastic pins. Hook on the flap and secure the new part to the body using 4 M3 x 8 Phillips headed screws instead of the pins. Works great. Attach spring. Good to go.

Thank you for showing how it REALLY goes!!

If you look at the rubber flange around the diesel filler neck/fuel cap, you will see a silver snap ring, prise it out, and hey presto you have access to the plastic pins/clips

As someone said above, using screwbolts work great. I made it in 10 mins with it. I can't get it why Volvo apply pins in it.

This is exactly my experience with trying to change the hinge. I ended up using pop rivets.

I had exactly the same problem fitting a new hinge to my car. If ever i had to do it again id push the pins in a little before trying to fit it then get someone to press the hinge to the car then hit the pins in. Bloody pain on your own.

Hello Is it not possible to put the hinge on first?

Good stuff, useful

That car will last forever 🙄😲

that looks like it was a hard time replaced this fuel filler flap.

This design alone is enough to stop me from buying a Volvo.

😂🤣😅😂
