I've known I had a version 1 cap on there since I've had it, but it's always been fine... until it's not, haha! Bought a new version cap yesterday, topped it up, am going to run it for a while with the bleeder valve open to free any trapped air (also sat for 10 minutes with nose down on a steep carpark ramp last night to help) and hoping that fixes it.
The caps are printed on top 996.106.447.0x ... if your 'x' is less than 4 upgrade to the newer one, they only cost about $25US from a dealer.

Went through the whole process of refilling and draining and this seemed to work after a 30 minute run. I had not opened the cap previously since I bought the car 2 months ago. New cap should arrive today! Thanks to everyone on here! In just a short time I have learned a lot about these quirky little beasts!
