Today I got the new oil filler cap from the dealer .


It cost a mindblowing 4 euro and 54 cents. I tested the car, even a little sideways (in the name of science) and all stays dry !.


Thanks for all the tips guys, the reverse rubber ring trick worked well for the holiday but during my road trip it still leaked. Now i've got a healthy beast again

Hello!

Can you be more specific as to which of the bolts you are talking about?

Also, is it OK to change these bolts+grommets one by one, by losening just one at a time and changing to a new one?

cheers,
Tero

I'm guessing you can change them one at a time. It would be helpful to search on grommet or post a picture of your situation for reference.
