I know really stupid!

Just checking the levels and away it went. It's an 09 Audi A6 3.0T. Due to the under tray I can't see it yet alone reach it..

Is there an easy way in.. Alternatively is it likely to do any harm if I just get a replacement.

you will do far more damage if you drive without a oil cap!

get one from VAG, i bought a couple from GSF an ECP recently that leaked more than my cracked original VW one.

Only cost £7, although i believe some of the newer audis have a far more expensive chrome topped cap it isnt strictly necessary to have one of these.

lol - I figured that bit out!.. Anyhow replacement arrived today. LP Motors in Pudsey - Leeds. Great place that looks after our Rav 4. He is rebuilding a very nice Porsche and runs a tasty Corvette.

Anyhow, I had a chat with him this morning.. Oil cap was delivered at my workplace mid afternoon. Great service as always.

that does indeed sound like good service and its always good to be able to chat to garage owners who have their own projects and dont just spend all day working on their clients cars.
