Can you post another picture of the package, and of the opposite side of both caps side-by-side.
@ TP,
My Pops just got done driving the car 996 w/ the new cap and I get the damn thing off to get a side-by-side pic. I just took a pic of the cap and package it came in,like I said the invoice had the part no. ending in .01 as well. Let me know if you need more pics.

Sure looks like Porsche has come out with yet another cap.
There has been talk about a black cap so about a month ago I had the parts guy pull one. What he gave me was the "usual" blue cap in a bag with the .01 part number on the bag. I did not think to look at the part number on the cap itself. He also ran it throught the computer and .01 was the current part number. I even looked at a new 997 in the showroom and it had a .01.
The more I think about it the black cap must be aftermarket.
The date on the plastic bag is June 15, 2007, for whatever that is worth. Visually I cannot see a difference between the .01 and .02 caps. There is a visual difference between the .00 and .01 caps.
It is a plot by Porsche to sell caps to pay for it's 31% share of VW because now everyone is going to want the .02 cap....
But then my January 1997 had a VW cap, with a VW part number on it, and with VW/Audi logos.
Yea, great, but it still won't keep your Coolant Recovery Tank from cracking or otherwise degrading! When they come up with that solution, I'm there!...
I called Sunset Imports and asked them about the coolant cap ending in .02 . They said for whatever reason it was discontinued......weird. They also had on more ending in .02 that was in a .01 package.
