Oil and coolant caps...which do you prefer?
« on: April 01, 2014, 03:15:35 pm »
What are you favourites out of the porsche ones or audi r8 oil and coolant caps?

Just curious as I think the R8 coolant cap is expensive for what it is!?

Going to be really honest here - i don't see the point of spending £80+ for a coolant cap. Thats just crazy!

It's off an audi tts and a perfect fit with aftermarket CAI's  :wink:

Just need the engine cover and 3 mounting pegs and you're there

Well after trying 3 different audi dealers and getting more and more frustrated with their attitude and lack of knowledge I got mine from Alex at AKS  :happy2: top bloke to deal with as many others will confirm

Expect to pay around £110 for the cover and 3 lugs
