My old 997.2's fuel filler cap has a distinct click when I tighten it down. However, my GT4's fuel filler cap does not click. Can someone verify on their GT4 whether this is normal ?

Mine has a soft detent/click showing that it is closed. It's only about a half turn from where you line up the gas cap to re-insert. Do you have the plastic gas cap or the aluminum-look one? Mine is plastic.

Aluminum look, but plastic. Mine does not have any clicks, which is not re-assuring while tightening it.

I've heard the QC is spotty on these (failed seals etc) so maybe worth checking with your dealer.

This is like mine, soft detent/click but certainly easy to tell when it is closed... faux aluminum version here.

Still disappointed that it wasn't actually aluminum for the up cost.

So I declined that option thinking, oh its just a gas cap, "normal" is fine. I now see why there is an upgrade. The stock cap feels flimsier/cheaper than the caps on any car I've ever owned. I just ordered the aluminum look from Suncoast. I hope its a little better.

Every time I fill up I smile when I open the filler door, the aluminum-look cap looks right for the car.

Love mine... plus looks awesome with Silver wheels!

Nice! What does the stock one look like?

I have the default black plastic one instead of the aluminum-look plastic one and it has a distinct feel when it's closed although doesn't really make a sound. Note that there are 3rd party real aluminum gas caps https://www.maxspeed-motorsports.com..._Porsche_.html

I refueled yesterday and after driving for about 5kms the check engine light popped up. Says engine control fault driving permitted.
It leads me to think its related to the gas cap. I can't recall if i shut it firmly but i did tighten it afterwards. The CEL is still there. Code P2626.
I'm hoping a few warm starts will clear the code or else its a trip to the dealership.

Fuel cap dramas... only time will tell ..

I contacted these guys, here’s the reply:

So there might be a reason why the new ones are all plastic (including the faux aluminium cap).

Thanks for the info. I was just about to order it and would be quite disappointed to have found out that it wouldn't work.

Your avatar shows a 981 GT4, this question was posted in the 718 forum, which version of GT4 do you have? Answers that you get may not be relevant if the model information is not apparent.

These were never listed as available for the 981 or the 718... even the 987.2 version shows as sold out.
