Default Broken filler tube
Hey all, I just broke my oil filler tube and had to replace it. Is this a common problem? thanks

Very common the plastic gets fragile from heat
it’s happened to me in both my 996 and 997

That happened on my previous .1 C2S while changing the drive belt and got bumped. Not too difficult to replace.

Happened on my 997.1, too. Tight quarters to reach the mounting bolts but doable if you move the alternator out of the way.
