Title: R8 Header Tank and Oil Filler Caps...
Post by: cosmicremedy on 18 April 2013, 10:46
Has anyone fitted an R8 Header Tank Cap to a GTD/GTI?  I believe the caps have different pressure reliefs?  Don't think they cost that much and they look pretty good i think...

I take it the Oil Cap should be fine, no probs...

Sorry, not being funny or anything - but the point of this is what exactly?

The R8 ones do look nice but I'm happy with the Forge ones too.

Porsche coolant cap is cheaper and just as good as the Audi one. Audi oil cap matches nicely with the Porsche coolant cap too. :cool:

Interesting  :smiley:

I take it, it won't cause any problems with pressures and that...?
