Thread: Gas cap replacement

Started 4 weeks, 1 day ago by roadsession
I had a P0456 check engine light a couple weeks ago. I replaced the gas tank cap. The old one had a very brittle, cracked o ring. What abysmal quality from a Porsche? Left one is the old one. Hard to tell from the crappy cellphone camera shot. Anyone have hints as to how to reinstall the strap to the car?

my cap is not strapped to the car - I prefer that (until I loose it )

I replaced mine and it's very easy, at least for a 2003. Where the tether is anchored to the chassis, there is a plastic pin in the center of the tether base. Push it through w/ a tiny screwdriver (or, what I had, a dental pick) and be careful not to lose the pin (my new gas cap came w/ a new pin). After the pin is out, just remove the old base/tether/gas cap, install the new base/tether/...

Np, the tether is anchored to the bottom right - let me know if you need a pic to illustrate. When you re-install the pin, there will be no positive stop so just push it through until it's flush w/ the base. Good luck. ///Michael
