Oil filler cap

[Steveday]

No idea if they are all the same, but i need one for my 2.0 360 pretty desperately.
Annoyingly ive paid someone on here for one and something else already, but since sending the money i havent heard back from them or recieved any items
Let me know what you've got guys

Silver or black oil cap? I'd imagine they are common to 200, 700 and 900 4 pots too, they are all the same engine.

[Steveday]

Mine was black.
Your probably right, i just dont have the time to get out and hunt for anywhere at the moment, and as mine is sending oil all down the side of the block, i need one pretty sharpish.

[SteveP]

Yes, as Chris says common with the other Volvo's. Also, I don't see a problem with naming and shaming - atleast then other people can avoid messers! Sorry to hear that's happened

Im sure there is a reasonable explanation behind it, as i thought the user was quite a long term member of the site, filthyjohn i think is his name.
As said, its a bit annoying, but im hoping theres a decent reason behind it as it seems daft to rip someone off for such a measly £15.

Anyway, thanks for the info, ill have a look-see on Ebay, see what i can pick up

OP, I wouldn't think John would do anything untoward on purpose. He's a genuine guy and I am sure he will be in contact shortly!

Agreed - out of character, sure there'll be a reasonable explanation. I think he's been pretty tied up recently and doesn't frequent as much as he used to, drop him a PM and sure he'll get back to you at some point

[Steveday]

Yeah i dont want to kick up a fuss as im sure there is a genuine reason as you say.
The last pm i recieved was on August 11th, and ive sent him one asking whats going on on the 21st and heard nothing yet.
Although now i look, he hasn't been online since the 14th so that'd explain it.
Id best get hunting for another one anyway (:

I'll send him a text. He's definitely not the kind of guy who would swindle you.

I'd be tempted to get a new one - the tabs on the underside go weak and promote oil blow-out. They use exactly the same cap on the modern cars - my 2005 V70 D5 certainly has one. They're about £15, plus £2 or so for the seal.

cheers

cheers
