I always thought the cap rested on the flap that you open unless they changed the design when they facelifted the car.

Is repair impossible - ie do I have to buy a new cap complete with the strip or is there an alternative ( apart from leaving it as it is)...?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Porsche Club GB: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Heres a little niggle which maybe someone can help me with. The petrol cap on my 2004 996 has a security strap or rather a rubber strip which fixes to the car as well as the cap and which has broken. Is repair impossible - ie do I have to buy a new cap complete with the strip or is there an alternative ( apart from leaving it as it is)...?

POST 2Original post

You can't buy the strap any more, and I don't think the new caps come with them. The caps are fairly cheap at £9.47 inc VAT, so it wouldn't cost a fortune to find out. Part number 996.201.241.03.

POST 4Original post

The caps have the rubber strap on them! £8.00 +vat
