940 Estate Petrol Cap...
Just in case it can help anyone else, I've just had to source a new petrol cap for my 1995 940 2.3 SE LPT Estate. The below item from Euro Car Parts is a perfect fit and comes with two keys...
https://www.eurocarparts.com/search/334660110 Euro Car Parts also seem to have a never ending range of discount codes available, I only paid £22 for mine, not the advertised price. A lot of used items on ebay etc were the same price. Car is still going very nicely, picture (hopefully) attached... |

The ECP picture was slightly wrong, the actual cap does look exactly the same shape on top as the original! Very odd, but I'm quite happy with that! |

Thanks, certainly very similar - i like the extra ridges along the side of the centre part for grip, my paws often slip while trying to tighten/loosen mine.
I know Volvo only made black caps (for all models) at the end, mine still has a green cap and i'd really like to preserve that as long as possible but i am considering renewing the cap because it just doesn't feel right anymore as it's being done up.

I was a bit miffed when the lock on the green cap on my 745 went wrong in the days when I had the car serviced at the local main dealer.
They replaced it with a black one which was always the original alternative for diesel engined cars. I had some old touch-up paint for a green 244DL I once owned and painted the cap green. The cap is now a mixture of black and worn off green paint! Bob |

Maybe if you use some plastic primer before painting it bright green again it will last longer, especially if you clear lacquer it too!
