Also my mate just got one for his escos, think a bayonet type fitting and it was the same as a vw part! Fits nicely. Think all the saphs are threaded screw type though?

2WDs are the bayonet fitting, everything else including the small turbo is threaded.

Surely thats a matter of opinion if they look horrid or not.. i think people change to metal as they look like something has been made nice..

Bloody hate metal ones myself... the one thing we have to do often is check oil on cars that have just been generating 2,3,4,5,6,700 bhp... now why do you think the O.E's made that part PLASTIC? LOL

Drives me nuts mate. Why fit header tanks you cant see into so have to let the engine go almost cold to take the cap off and oil caps you cant remove when hot without scalding yourself?
The two primary areas you might want at the side of the road or ina fuel station and you have to sit there waiting for it to cool down. FFS...
