Questions About Oil Filler Cap

Recommended Posts

MerlinGTI

I was wondering if there were any different oil filler caps that are interchangable with an 8v's?

 

Reason I ask is im about to re-route the vent pipes, so a cap that has 2 equal sized 'barbs' rather than the one huge & 1 small or even just 1 barb rather than the two would make things much neater.

 

Failing this does anyone know what size pipes fit the standard 8v filler cap? I know the smaller one needs an 8mm ID pipe....

 

Cheers

The mi16 cap is probably a lot cheaper from a motor factors, it's not a dealer-only part.
