Just checked. The coolant cap is the pricier one.MikeFish wrote:No the cap is from an R8. Can't remember how much it was; either the oil or coolant cap is quite cheap (circa 20 or 30 pounds) but the other one is about £80.
The coolant cap will fit as standard but the picture will be at 90 degrees. Simple mod to fix.

Misano Red B7 RS4 Avant. 20" Rotors. KW adjustable spring kit. 8 & 10mm H&R spacers. MRC Stage 2 remap. Pre-cat delete & x-pipe.
Re: Rs4 coolant tank cover
Thanks. I thought it might be as the coolant cap has slightly more to it with the pressure relief bit as you open it whereas the oil cap is just a plain cap with a shiny bit of plastic.Audi Pardner wrote:Just checked.

Re: Rs4 coolant tank cover
Mike, is the washer fluid one a billet aluminum cap? Either way, where did you get that one and the power steering cap? I got the Porsche/R8 combo oil/coolant/fluid but need the power steering one. Thanks

Joking aside, a new OEM tank freshens up the bay no end. And it remains functional (you can see the coolant level).

Re: Rs4 coolant tank cover
The washer fluid is made by Forge and is metal, not sure it is aluminium though, I'd have to check their website. Doesn't fit perfectly, it is quite hard to get in and off.Seattle-squash wrote:Mike, is the washer fluid one a billet aluminum cap? Either way, where did you get that one and the power steering cap?

The power steering one was from an R8 but it doesn't fit the B7 so I took the R8 cap and removed the innards / level guide and glued it to a B7 cap lid that had been modified to accommodate the R8 cap on top. See my build thread for photos and details of how I did this.

Re: Rs4 coolant tank cover
Hmm. Don't know. I assumed they were all the same. I can try and dig out the box when I finish putting my car back together in a moment.
