Is the r8 cap a split design like the original? I've seen many posts about missing oil cap tops, I've had this too... Not sure if it catches on the bonnet fire lining or its heat expanding it off... Hasn't happened since the summer come to think of it, but keep a spare in the glovebox just in case.
I believe you have to split the R8 cap and re-seat it at a slight angle in order for it to sit "flat" when screwed in to the mk5 engine. This is the reason why some people have found their expensive R8 caps missing the top section after a while!
The one from creationmotorsport on eBay comes pre adjusted for the GTI
