You have a 01 cap, replace it asap. Any Porsche dealer can order it for you.

Replaced original cap to -01 in 2007 at around 58,000 km (36,000 miles). Now at 109,000 km (68,000 miles). No issues, but after reading this I guess I'll end up getting the -04. Sigh.

Is it just me or is this another Porsche design screw-up? How many car manufacturers redesign their coolant caps regularly...
