Title: Porsche Oil Cap
Post by: arris on March 13, 2014, 06:47:53 pm

Right, picked up a set of caps at weekend.

Went to fit them today and the oil cap doesn't fit, i have no engine cover so my filler neck is removed and the outside diameter is too big.

Anybody else had this issue and has anyone else just filed it down a little?

This is interesting... I have a brand new one sat in the garage waiting to go on..

Its because you have the neck removed. The cap wont fit. Fits if you have the neck.

Ended up filing the edges of the cap to make it fit as i had it.

Just need my black washer cap to turn up from AKS and bay will look better  :party:

Hey @shoaybmakda (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=12148) the top clips off the cap it self as I had one on my tt which was slightly angled so clipped it off and fitted it straight.
