Common oil leak points 1.4TDi (AMF)

Because this is the second time it falls off. The design of this thing is horrible, and doomed to fail. I will very happy to blind it off and remove the filler.
If it's coming disconnected then it hasn't been fitted correctly or the plastic so called 'quick fit coupler' is broken, like my old one in the photo i posted.

I bet there are dozens, if not hundreds of cars out there with incorrectly refitted oil filler pipes that are doomed and destined to leak.

I do agree though that the design possibly isn't the greatest ?
 
Last time it was fitted by Audi dealership, and I checked it afterwards. It was fitted well and tight. So the design is just horrible. Now I think I fixed it. A 16,5-17mm blindplug glued with Loctite 270. Lets see how it works out. Look forward to make an service on the car coming weekend, with oil refill from the top original oil cap.
