P0455 Fixed

Started a few weeks ago with a Gas Cap light on the dash, when it got cold we got the P0455 code, prolly coz the cold made the old deformed seal hard and brittle. All fixed with new Gas Cap O-Ring seal 1k0201557A. Just takes 2 minutes to pry off the old cracked deformed one off and slide the new one on.

Some Dealers living up to the Stealership name coz they tell you the O-Ring is not available and try to sell you a complete Gas Cap for several times the price. Incedently, his seal fits our Tiquan as well but the Gas Cap is a totally different design, so I'll order one for the Tiguan as well.
