FAQs
Is this cap compatible with my 2005 Renault Clio?
No, this cap is specifically designed for the Renault Clio MK 1, which covers the years 1991-1998.
Does it work with both diesel and petrol models?
Yes, the ELF093 is compatible with both petrol and diesel versions of the specified Renault models.
What should I do if I lose both keys?
Because this is a mechanical locking device, losing both keys may require replacing the entire cap assembly, so we recommend keeping the spare key in a safe, accessible location.
Will this help with fuel evaporation?
Yes, the leak-proof seal is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping, which aids in maintaining fuel system pressure and efficiency.
Does this cap meet UK MOT standards?
Yes, this cap is built to meet MOT requirements and current European safety standards.
Troubleshooting
Key will not turn in the lock
Ensure the key is fully inserted; if it is cold outside, the mechanism may be frozen, so apply a de-icer or lock lubricant.
Cap feels loose after tightening
Remove the cap and inspect the rubber O-ring seal for cracks or debris; ensure it is seated correctly before re-threading.
Difficulty unscrewing the cap
Apply firm, downward pressure while turning the key and unscrewing to ensure the threads are properly engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: remove your current fuel cap and screw on the Equip ELF093 unit until secure. This model is exclusively compatible with Renault Clio MK 1 (1991-1998) and Renault Extra Phase 2 (1992-1998) in both petrol and diesel variants. To care for your cap, periodically wipe the rubber gasket with a clean, damp cloth to remove debris that might prevent a perfect seal. During winter months, if the locking cylinder becomes stiff, a light spray of graphite lubricant can ensure smooth operation of the locking tumblers.
