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?

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
