What's this cap for??

Ok, don't laugh because I just got this car a couple weeks ago but what's the little hole with the plastic cap next to the fuel cap?

Thanks,

Nix

From your post I'm not sure what you are refering to, with a pic it would be much easier.

It might be the filler for your window washer or headlight washer, that's if you have one.

Nixter,

Don't feel bad. I asked this question just a little while ago. what is guys have said is right on...it's the servicing port for your windshield washer fluid.


edit: Nix, there are those that might flame away at you for posting recently or commonly asked questions, but IMHO, just ask away. Someone will answer it for you.

Cheers!

Randy

Brake light fluid. Use clear, for that European look.
