Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is such a piddling little problem I am a bit reluctant to bring it up. On my last fill-up, the fuel door hinge on my 2001 996 C2 broke. It's mostly plastic; the folks in Stuttgart probably saved 0.001 grams in weight. At any rate, the replacement part that everybody is offering is 997 201 063 (clearly a 997 part), which can be mounted but does not clear the anchor point for the tether on the fuel cap (see pics). So it can be used, but I had to remove the tether. Not a big deal but not right. Anyone have any wisdom (on this subject) to share?

POST 2Original post

I made the same replacement and found the tether point obscured. I'm planning on drilling a new tether point, but before that happens, i have stuck the tether end into the square hole in the new hinge. The tether stays in place there unless you pull hard on it.

POST 3Original post

Where do you hang it when you are refueling? My 01 did not have a hook. So I used a Porsche valve stem support it worked great. https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/96536156100.htm?pn=965-361-561-00-OEM&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwgfm3BhBeEiwAFfxrG8KJiGjNgNyncRj8lwJs cNa9iP71c2gJJQfiaIf5BbXUPNKRFfHfexoCDcAQAvD_BwE
