Glad this thread was refreshed - after putting down my beverage I took a stroll out to the garage and noticed that my cap was an .01 part number. For a minute I was impressed that I have 88K miles on my '98 Boxster and I'm still on the original cap...then I started to recall that there was some work done on the system by the previous owner....

So that got me looking through the maintenance records I received with the car. Sure enough - in 2005 with 36K miles the reservoir was replaced and a new cap was included.

What I find odd is the service record has the new cap as having the part number of .04....and I somehow have a cap with an .01 part number?? Did they have the .04 cap in 2005?

Regardless - even if the cap was replaced a 2nd time with an original .01 part number cap...I will now be ordering the .04 cap...
