The oil filler cap has gone missing on my 914.
It was there. I went for a drive for an hour or so. I came back and it was gone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Aside from a small amount of oil that must have sloshed up and out I have not found any badness. But I also have not found the filler cap. It had GOT to be in there somewhere but damned if I know where. Searching the top of the motor has yeilded nothing. I've felt around the fan well and can't find it there either - or the remnants of it. Who the hell opened a portal into the engine compartment of my 914? Where T.H. could it have gone to? Zach |

That’s crazy. Did you check down in the fan housing area known to swallow many parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) That and a rag I had in the engine compartment. Odds are if you can’t find it somewhere amongst the intake it is either in the fan well or past it. Maybe a boroscope will find it, but my luck is iffy with the things. Hope I am wrong though. |
