Hi there,
nothing serious, but the cap of my LHM tank sits very loose. Is this supposed to be that way? It actually only sits "on" the tank without any fixation. I turned the Y part that sticks out the top of it so that one end goes under the car body at the side, but I'm not sure if that's okay. I hear that it's supposedly very important not to let any dust into the tank and such. Also, on one end of that Y piece there's a thin tube going somewhere down and it's not possible to pull it up. I thought it's for releasing excess fluid in case someone filled it to high but is it connected somewhere?
by the way, my TD just passed the "Abgastest" without problems on Friday (exhaust emission limits test)
Regards,
Carl

Mine is the same as yours, there's no fixation. I would guess it's supposed to attach but I don't think the cap being loose will cause a problem. I also have the pipe coming from the cap, mine disappears with a load of the other pipes that come from the reservoir.
If you wanted you could put some tape over it or something?

This pipe is just a vent for the tank. They only use a pipe for this so it can be routed to a relatively 'safe' spot that's less likely to suck in grime.I also have the pipe coming from the cap, mine disappears with a load of the other pipes that come from the reservoir.
I'm sure the Haynes book lists each of the pipes at the tank (or is it the CX haynes that does?)

Possibly in the Brown-edition Haynes, but probably not in the dumbed-down Blue one. There may be one on the BX DIY site, though the best I've seen was on the now-defunct-but-archived-somewhere Japanese BX owner's site (bx.org was somewhere in the url).I'm sure the Haynes book lists each of the pipes at the tank (or is it the CX haynes that does?)
Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.
