Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored.

Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The rubber strap that attaches the gas cap to the body broke this morning (why does stuff always break when I drive it and not when she does?). Does anyone know the P/N for it?
Better still, is there a good online parts guide for the 996 like BMW fans have with RealOEM?
Thanks,

Happened to my car too. The bad news is you have to buy the whole cap and comes with the lanyard. The good news it's only about $10.00. I just ordered one from Sunset Porsche along with other stuff should have mine Monday.
Wow $10 is a lot cheaper than I expected. I figured that the screw/clip would break too when I went to install the new one and they'd charge $100 for that
Same here. I didn't know they had one till reading this posting. I set mine on the wiper blade while filling the tank. Of course there is no lock on my gas door either. Things that a dealer PPI failed to even mention to me. The coniving ba****d. Thats why I always stress since buying mine to have an independant PPI and not from the dealer. Dealers only mention things they want us to know and tend to very casually overlook things they want to hide from us.
