the effing fuel cap...

[john_o]

Goes to fill up , opens flap via switch in door , unscrews cap ......

now where the f*ck do I put the cap ? 

a) hold it
b) let it hang
c) hang it over the flap door

a) looks silly (but what I currently do)
b and c could lead to scratches

My fiancees MRS has a hook on the flap to hang it out of the way
, is it me or did VW miss something obvious?

maybe I will be forced to add a DIY small hook to save my lacquer

totally agree, i thought exactly the same!! i looked and saw no hook. thought wtf?

Just let it hang over the flap

Do *NOT* hook it over the cap, like it says in the manual - you WILL scratch the paint on the cap

You need to be an expert in human contortion to hold the cap AND the pump at the same time

Don't hook it, hang it.

On my MKiv the cut outs on the cap held it secure, no messing about. Its not half as good on the Mkv, sometimes it stays sometimes it falls off. I have tried the cap in different positions
