In row PET 00 and 01 still shows up, with the note that when 00 is used up it is replaced by 01.

In fact, before the recall for the cap, Porsche just tried to replace the O-ring in the original cap.
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.

hello,
first of all, please note i am italian and poor in "adjectives" and proper "names".
do you know the 996 fuel "cap" has nothing that allow you to "hang" it on the fuel small door. well, eu cars have this inconvenient.
do you know if there is any solution for this?
thanks
Ciao Fabry,
There is a way to hold the fuel "cap", I will try to make a picture to make it more obvious.
You have a little plastic wire to hold the cap and it is possible to hold it on the small "door", there is a hook that is designed for that. If I have time I will try to post a picture...
Have a good day.
I think I understand... You are looking for a fuel cap with the teather as your fuel cap does not have one. In reviewing the parts catalog, it looks like you need part number:
Fuel cap with clip: 996.201.241.02
thanks.
well usually caps have 2 "holes" something like this " ____| |__| |____ " that allwos you to hang it to the fule "door"...
wher can i get one?
thanks
My 1997 has a cap that has 2 slots to hang on the flap, if that is what you mean.
This style was used 1997-2000. In 2001 Porsche went to the tether style.
Then a few years ago there was a gas cap recall for 1998 to I think 2002. You go a new gas cap, the tether style, but the tether was removed if you had a 1998-2000 because there was no place to hang the tether.
1997 was not subject to the recall and that is why I still have the original style cap.
So doing some more research and to the above point by Tool Pants:
Cap 996.201.241.01 superceeds 996.201.241.00
Cap 996.201.241.03 superceeds 996.201.241.02
So maybe he should get cap 996.201.241.01 as that sounds like the cap you have that was not affected?
I have a 1997 Boxster. On a 1998 up Boxster as part of the emission system the fuel tank is put under pressure to check for leaks in vapor hoses. 1997 did not have this feature so there was no recall for 1997. In fact, before the recall for the cap, Porsche just tried to replace the O-ring in the original cap.
I would have to check around to see if you can even get the cap I have. Just think of all those caps like mine that were thrown away during the recall. Maybe they are in Italy....
In row PET 00 and 01 still shows up, with the note that when 00 is used up it is replaced by 01. I have 00 so these are the caps with the notches to hang on the flap. This version is no longer on USA PET, which makes sense due to the recall.
02 and 03 are the tethered versions. 02 is on row and 03 is on USA PET, but this might have changed over the years. The recall was done with 03, with the tether removed unless you asked for it to be left on.
I use to watch them throw away the old caps, and pull the tether off the new cap. So I "rescued" a 00 cap from a 1999 996 and the tether from the 03 cap when this was going on a few years ago.
Boxstir owners also go a sticker near the emission sticker to show that the recall had been done.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
