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.
