Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Anyone interested in Porsche OEM oil and coolant caps for their Octy?

    Im trying to organise a group buy on another forum for these oil and coolant caps, and i thought i would share the info here too incase any Octy owners were interested. These caps are a direct replacement for your original plastic caps - no modifications necessary.

    As a different and much cheaper alternative to the Audi R8 oil and coolant caps (and cheaper again than JCaps and Forge caps) the Porsche oil and coolant caps also fit VAG engines and are a definite improvement over the stock black/blue plastic items.

    These will fit:
    - Passat R36
    - Golf R32 (not sure about Mk4 but definitely Mk5)
    - Golf GTI (Mk5 and Mk6)
    - Golf R
    - Polo GTI and TSI/TDI
    - Skoda Octavia's (and i believe Fabia's too)
    - Audi's

    I can get these at about 1/2 the price of the equivalent Audi R8 items. (normally the R8 items are about $80-90 EACH delivered)

    Just seeing if there is any interest in the Porsche oil and coolant caps here. If i can get interest (and deposits) for 10x or more then i will be able to sell them locally to you for about $45-50 each (or $90-100 for both if you want both) including local delivery from me to you. The more you all want, the cheaper they will be.

    If i can get interest and deposits then delivery would be around mid-late April.

    If you are interested, please reply to with details on whether you would like just the oil cap or just the coolant cap (or both).

    This is the oil cap:




    And this is the coolant cap:

                    Looks like i will be able to do both caps for about $95 including delivery to each forum member. Otherwise, the oil cap alone is $45, coolant cap alone is $50.

                    Honestly, just the oil cap alone makes a big difference in the engine bay. The coolant cap is a bit of a take-it-or-leave-it because its out of the way a bit, but the oil cap does look good.

                          No problem guys. I'll shut this off group buy off tomorrow and make contact with those who have expressed interest for a deposit to secure their order.

                              ^ Looks good Boogz. Glad you are happy with it.

                              Ive still got a few oil and coolant caps left so if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM. Just note that the oil caps do not fit the 2.0TDI engines or the newer (facelifted) 2.0TSI engines. Pre facelift TFSI engines are fine.
