Ok, I am not so thick as I can't change the cap over(!) but just wondering where the lanyard is supposed to attach?

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just got a new petrol cap as the seal was looking a bit ropey on the old one, and it comes with a modern style retainer lanyard - unlike my old one. Ok, I am not so thick as I can't change the cap over(!) but just wondering where the lanyard is supposed to attach? And are you supposed to leave the cap dangling when filling up, or am I missing a clip or holder of some sort? Can't belive I am asking for help on this - an official 996 blonde moment.....! ?? D'oh!

POST 2Original post

This is where i attached mine, however i think you can also attach it to the hole by the centre of the hinge

POST 3Original post

On our 2002 C2, there is a hook on the filler flap where you can put the lanyard to hold the filler cap away from the wing while refuelling, don't know if you have that? Regards, Nick Webb
