Diesel fill up pipe movement
 
I have a xc70 d5 2007. It had a rattle at the back end, my mechanic can't find it. I've been underneath and I have found movement in the diesel fill pipe that connects to the fill cap. Should it do this? I don't know if it should have some play for vibration or whether it should be completely static. Does anyone know how it should be? I've attached a video thanks.[YOUTUBE] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WBcg5_MpM4g[/YOUTUBE]

Looks like the circular plastic bracket isn't circular and holding the pipe securely because there's a section missing.
I'd check the Vida parts catalogue for a diagram of the components in the area.

I thought that but when I looked more closely it looks just like a half ring support. I can't feel around it very well so I'm not certain whether it should be a half ring or a full clip.

You could criss-cross a couple of cable ties around the pipe and what's left of the bracket.
It's not going to need much securing.

I've strapped it up with tie wraps and it seems to have cured the rattle, cheers.
