Oil cap

[Bow]

Well my car has decided to lose another oil cap can anyone help why this is happening. It seems to somehow snap the top of the cap so am unable to open it

It's usually the engine cover is slightly misaligned due to a rubber bung has split or mount slightly unscrewed / snapped.

It can also be the fire blanket shield under the bonnet has come away and grabbing the oil cap, check both

Mine came apart but I managed to clip it back together.

No doubt mate... don't replace the top, just keep it in the glovebox when required (they snap back on), as it will only come off again, and could end up in the rad fans.

I haven't got the top mate they seem to disappear have to buy another one AGAIN lol

[Scottymon]

lol, cheap on the bay bud, only a few quid iirc. or just wait until you get your CAI and grab a shiny R8 one

Defo up for standard not feeling shiny ones. Too expensive to lose and bonnet never open for show
