Anyone interested in Porsche OEM oil and coolant caps for their Octy?

**Lucas_R** · 07-03-2013, 09:09 AM

Im trying to organise a group buy on another forum for these oil and coolant caps, and i thought i would share the info here too incase any Octy owners were interested. These caps are a direct replacement for your original plastic caps - no modifications necessary.

As a different and much cheaper alternative to the Audi R8 oil and coolant caps (and cheaper again than JCaps and Forge caps) the Porsche oil and coolant caps also fit VAG engines and are a definite improvement over the stock black/blue plastic items.

These will fit:
- Passat R36
- Golf R32 (not sure about Mk4 but definitely Mk5)
- Golf GTI (Mk5 and Mk6)
- Golf R
- Polo GTI and TSI/TDI
- Skoda Octavia's (and i believe Fabia's too)
- Audi's

I can get these at about 1/2 the price of the equivalent Audi R8 items. (normally the R8 items are about $80-90 EACH delivered)

Just seeing if there is any interest in the Porsche oil and coolant caps here. If i can get interest (and deposits) for 10x or more then i will be able to sell them locally to you for about $45-50 each (or $90-100 for both if you want both) including local delivery from me to you. The more you all want, the cheaper they will be.

If i can get interest and deposits then delivery would be around mid-late April.

If you are interested, please reply to with details on whether you would like just the oil cap or just the coolant cap (or both).

This is the oil cap:

And this is the coolant cap:

Just updating this to say that ill be closing this group buy off at the end of this week (March 15th). Im up to about 40 caps so have plenty of orders to look after already.

I will be making contact soon with those who have expressed interest to arrange a deposit and to also ask for your address details for postage etc.

Looks like i will be able to do both caps for about $95 including delivery to each forum member. Otherwise, the oil cap alone is $45, coolant cap alone is $50.

Honestly, just the oil cap alone makes a big difference in the engine bay. The coolant cap is a bit of a take-it-or-leave-it because its out of the way a bit, but the oil cap does look good.
