FAQs
Will this cap fit my Audi 80?
Yes, the ELF024 is designed for compatibility with the Audi 80 series.
What should I do if I lose both keys?
Because the lock is unique to the provided keys, it is recommended to keep one key in a secure location as a backup.
Does this cap meet MOT requirements?

Is any special equipment needed for installation?
No, it is a direct replacement part that installs by hand without any tools.
Can I use this on a modern car not listed in the manual?
It is not recommended. This cap is custom-dimensioned for specific older models; using it on incompatible tanks may cause a faulty seal.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the cap is fully screwed onto the filler neck before engaging the lock to prevent mechanical binding.
The lock feels stiff or does not turn smoothly.
Apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant into the keyhole to loosen internal pins.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the ELF024 is straightforward and requires no tools. Simply remove your old cap, check that the filler neck is clean, and screw on the new Equip locking cap until it is tight. Compatibility is focused on specific European models including the Audi 200, 80, and 90, BMW Z1, and Rover 75 series. For care, periodically wipe the rubber gasket with a clean, dry cloth to remove debris that might interfere with the seal. Keep the keyway clean and occasionally apply a small amount of graphite lubricant if the lock becomes stiff due to environmental grit.
