Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just finished replacing the fuel vent valve. I saw this externally ribbed brass bushing on the shop floor. Any thoughts were it goes? I found that it fits in the fuel door receptacle for the lock pin. Do your cars have a brass bushing in this location or any ideas where it might go? I did note that the mounting holes for the vent valve have a metal liner in them, but those are not missing and they are smaller in diameter anyway.

POST 2Original post

I don't think thats a part from the car, it certainly doesn't get inserted into the receptacle

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I figured if it had been there in the fuel door I would have noticed it before. As I tugged on the various plastic pieces I could hear little stuff rattling down, which I assumed were pebbles, but then I saw this under the front of the car and began to wonder. I swept that area where I found this pretty recently so am puzzled where it came from.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
