Oil cap
« on: October 02, 2014, 11:26:03 pm »
Hi all,

I have seen a few photos of engine bays and have noticed some oil caps sit flush with the engine cover. How is this achievable? is it just some sort of extension piece? Can I buy this piece from anywhere? Sick of being to lazy to take the cover off and either getting my hand stuck or taking all the skin off my knuckles attempting to remove said oil cap   :fighting:

Many thanks in advance

Normally theres a rubber neck which comes fitted to all Mk5 GTi's. Its a commin fault causing this to be removed by the owner. Your one has probably been removed previously.

Or buy a CAI which the previous owner probably had if they've removed the neck... Did you buy privately? Perhaps they still have the neck...

Put out a wanted advert on this forum, I'm sure someone will have one tucked away they can part with.
