Welcome. The FLAPS will be useful for a few things but not many in my
experience. It helps to have them look it up under VW then Trucks. Even then
for items like the locking gas cap my FLAPS doesn't carry it. You would be
better off ordering from one of the fine list member vendors. I lost my cap
on a trip into Mexico in March. I ordered the replacement from Ken at
Vanagain. I try to accumulate an order so I make the most of the shipping
costs.
