Collant dripping 2000 Boxster

I am trying to figure out the black cap.

Where did you get the black cap from. If you got it from Porsche did it come in a plastic bag with a part number on it - if so what is the full part number.

Compared my old blue 00 cap with my new black 01 cap. Old 00 internals show a obvious round topped cylinder with a screened top when held up side down. New 01 internals also have a simular round top cylinder with screen top but also includes an elongated cylinder that envelopes and extends beyond the rounded part of the inner cylinder. Sorry, that's the best way I could describe it. Color may only be a difference in the manufacturer. My black 01 cap does not have a Porsche # on the outside like my blue original 00. I believe both are made by the company named "Blau" as they both have a similar insignia.

Thats odd, i just called my porsche dealer and the part guy told me the Blue cap is newer and ends in 01, the black cap is old and ends in 00..... so blue is newer, it he wrong or right or did i just read everything here too fast?

My "new" cap is blue too. Ends in 01. Hope that helps

Part number should overide color

Ah ok, I just checked my cap and it ends with 00 and is blue, i called the dealer back and asked if he his sure the new one is blue as well and he said its blue and not black. We shall see when i pick it up in 15 minutes, he didnt actually go in the back to look at it for me

After my catastrophic coolant leak the new cap the dealer put on my car is blue. It seems to me that when I drove the Cayman at the track the cap on that car was black. I think as long as the number has an 01 you are good no matter what color it is.
