Fuel cap rubber strap
Like I suspect many others the rubber "string" that stops the fuel cap falling away has broken on my car.
Does anyone know if this can be acquired separately, it's very easy to replace? For those that don't know you just push out two small plastic pins (visible when you look closely) to release it from the fuel cap, the other end just clips over the head of the retaining screw/fixing. I've seen someone online just replace it with nylon "string" but that not exactly OEM.  I know you can live without it, but it just annoys me that it's non-functional.

I temporarily repaired mine when it broke a few years ago, with some black wire and heatshrink sleeving. I wasn't happy with the repair though so eventually I just bought a brand new cap (complete with rubber string). Can't remember how much it was, but I don't think it was too expensive.

After a bit of searching, I found when and where I bought if from, but still not sure what it cost ...
I bought it from Stoke Audi Parts: http://www.stokeaudi-parts.co.uk (in November 2014) In my email to them, I asked for a price for these two items: Quote:

While we're interested to know what you had for your dinner Stephen, do you have any suggestions regarding the rubber cord?

The current part number is 1J0 201 550BF and RRP is £34.36
There's been about 4 iterations over the years - largely down to REACH compliance for the materials in the cap, by the looks of it

I ended up buying a new one. RRP was thirty something, but I managed to talk myself into a small discount.

Is it easy to change? Mine is still alive, but wanted to change preventively.
