That location is about where they always crack. I would say tape it up and get it repaired ASAP. There is a better solution to the stock oil filler pipe. Check it out here: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...t-members.html
Getting ready to come out in pieces like this one I just changed out....
Seems the 20+ yo rubber & plastic pieces are starting to show their age. And the filler pipe and belt won't be only ones.
Thanks guys! You just saved my butt! Didn’t even look to check - stupid. Ran out and bought a replacement this afternoon and swapped it out. Cracks all over on the old one.
The hardest part is getting the alternator out. You should read up on tips and tricks to do that.
Yup. I just replaced my fill tube. While most remove the throttle body, I managed to change it just removing the alternator. I’ve had my alternator out a few years ago, so I came out easy this time. First time was a bit of a bear. Read up, it’s not hard but does take patience.
For those that have done it themselves, whats the difficulty level? I've seen some of the videos, seems like theres a few opportunities to royally screw things up.
I did not find it too difficult. Just need to go step by step and be patient. It was tedious getting the bolts inserted to mount the new filler tube (including dropping them a hundred times and having to fish them out to try again).
