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.

Same parts guy pulled me another cap today. This time I looked at the part number on the cap.

.01 on the bag.

.02 on the cap - did not want to take it out of the plastic bag since I was not buying it.

Showed it to a mechanic friend and he do not know there was yet another cap. We looked at it and could not detremine what changed. Maybe the valve inside.

Hi, I still have the cap ending with 00 and don't know what all the fuss is about Maybe Porsche wants us to replace it so that the pressure in the ****************ty overflow reservoir builds up just enough to crack open.

Geiger makes the plastic coolant tank that splits on the bottom.

Blau makes the plastic cap that does not hold pressure for the plastic tank.

The 986 had been in production for 8 plus years and this crap is still going on. Or, buy stock in both companies....
