Latest Oil Cap part number?

Can't seem to find the answer to this online. Was planning on replacing mine as a cheap potential fix to my ongoing 1128/1130 CEL condition. I can seal my filler tube with my hand better than the cap does.

What's the latest part number? Planning on stopping by the stealership tomorrow and want to get the right one.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the dealership would only have the newest and latest part number, at least mine does.

The one you bought is an older part; you want part #99610703552 , about $10.

Well I picked up the new oil cap today from the dealership for $19 and was pretty excited, but it hasn't fixed my hunt for idle issue. I will say though, that this thing is drastically different than my old cap (yellowish), so I'm glad I got the revised cap anyway. Was a fairly inexpensive excuse to go visit Courtney at the dealership

(side note: I have a theory that there is at least one Courtney at every Porsche dealership.. Austin? check. San Antonio? check.)

The "hunt" continues (no pun intended)...
