Hey All,

So apparently I hadn't had enough coffee before I went to the gas
station on my way to work this morning.  I filled up, bought some
juice, cleaned my windshield and back window, put the nozzle back into
its holster, and drove away without closing my gas tank.  Needless to
say, I was a little dismayed as I watched my gas cap roll off across
four lanes of moderate traffic through my side-view mirror after
hearing a small *clunk*.

So my question is, where's a good (reliable) place to order a
Volkswagen gas cap for a 2000 Jetta GL?  I would just go to Schuck's
and grab an aftermarket one, but the last time I tried that (with a
'97 Jetta) it gave me compression problems - as it just wasn't a VW
part.

Awaiting Suggestions and/or Comments and/or Laughs from the Peanut
Gallery,

    Try www.bimmerparts.com .  They show the part  for $21 and
they primarily carry parts by OEM manufacturers.
