Ah, this has been considered. There are little slots cut in the fuel filler cap such that it sits securely on the open fuel filler 'door'.Off topic I know, but the only other annoying 'oversight' if you like (for want of a better word) is having nowhere to put the fuel filler cap when refueling and having to let it hang onto the paintwork of the rear wheel arch. Annoys me every time I put fuel in the car!
Then you are almost wedging the filler cap onto the painted filler flap which could then scratch the external painted finish which I really don't like and I think I would rather just rest it on the arch as at least then it's only rested not wedged.Ah, this has been considered.

Thanks for the photo BTW ?
Well I never. Fantastic bit of info Tom, thank you!
Would have been nice if Audi had made a removable section in the undertray for all models but then again they wouldn't be able to charge as much labour which unfortunately is what they're all about!
You're probably right but they still charge a labour price as if they are removing and refitting the tray 10 times ?I think you'll find that when an Audi garage does an oil change, they don't drain the oil. They pump it out!

That's good to know ?The slots in the filler cap are generous. No force is required to securely place it. I've used the feature with every fill for 12 years and there's absolutely no evidence of scratching. It's really quite elegant.

There are Audi and VW franchises in Eastbourne owned by the same company. I always take my A2 to VW for jobs I am not equipped to do; they are cheaper and much more capable. If they need anything, they borrow it from the Audi garage. VW and Audi have different diagnostic equipment!You're probably right but they still charge a labour price as if they are removing and refitting the tray 10 times ?
And charge for a sump bolt, washer and heaven knows what else ....You're probably right but they still charge a labour price as if they are removing and refitting the tray 10 times ?
