Purpose and function of the component

The presented fuel filler flap is designed specifically for the rear bodywork of the Mercedes ML W164 model. It is responsible for covering the fuel cap and filler neck, protecting the fuel system from external contaminants and weather conditions. Thanks to its factory origin, it maintains the correct geometry, which facilitates installation and ensures proper operation with the opening mechanism.

Color and paint matching

The component is finished in the Tanzanite Blue Metallic - 359 shade, characteristic of selected Mercedes color configurations. For vehicle owners with this color, this means the possibility of an aesthetic replacement of the flap without the need for additional painting or time-consuming color matching. The metallic coating ensures consistency with the body line, which is particularly important for post-accident repairs and visual restorations.

Technical characteristics and installation

The flap belongs to the Fuel filler flaps and accessories group, meaning it has been constructed for operation in the immediate vicinity of the fuel system. Its placement in the rear of the vehicle requires maintaining appropriate rigidity and stable mounting so that the component does not deform during use. The design is intended for installation at factory mounting points, which facilitates replacement in workshop or service conditions.

The product is in used condition, which in practice means it comes from disassembly and may show signs of normal wear while maintaining the functionality necessary for further use. This solution allows for an economical vehicle repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Component selection by numbers and technical support

To ensure full compatibility with a specific equipment version, it is worth selecting the flap based on the OEM part number or interchangeable numbers assigned to this component. This helps avoid installation problems and ensures proper fitment with the body and opening mechanism. In case of doubt, the selection can be additionally verified using the vehicle's VIN.
