Got the part from Audi, new cap and O ring. Tried to remove the old one at lunch time and the old one just wont budge. i am using a pair of long nose pliers and a large adjustable on the pliers to get some leverage but despite lots of creaks it does not want to unlock. Looking at the new one, it needs to be turned anticlockwise to release it. I guess the old rubber O ring is creating additional resistance.
