Water Pump (indications of problems)?

[BoomerRoadie]

Any particularly strong opinions of the Porsche coolant cap vs. an after market version? $36.00 after shipping vs. $10.00 after shipping!

Seems like a simple enough part...

Thoughts?

Don't cheap out on cheap parts. Unless you like doing and replacing stuff twice....

So a few years back I replaced with Porsche cap 04. With last year condensation issue, I tried OEM non-Porsche. It seems to hold pressure, it was 'O' rings in purge. The non Porsche will not have the part number on it so no one will be able to tell if it's a 04 version. I taped the part number from the bag onto my expansion tank.

Spend the whopping extra $26 on the real thing

Yeah. I did spend the extra money. It's on order now. Monday.....

So my plan is to check and see if the cap itself stops the leak. That should be any easy check too. If that clears the problem, I think my next step will be to flush the coolant and start anew.

Thanks all!!

I got the oem 04 coolant cap for under 20 bucks from Amazon a while back.

That is exactly where I found mine but for $25.00 after shipping.

Thx!
