Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Happy New Year gents- My car has a blue expansion cap on it that does hold pressure. I pre-emptively bought a serpentine belt and a new cap from one of my usual parts houses. (AutohausAZ) The cap I got was black, and had specs written in German on it. I'm at work, so no picture of it... Q- Every engine pic I see has a blue cap ( likely Porsche OEM) so is that the preferred cap? Danke

POST 2Original post

Blue is known to be OEM. My black one is working fine.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks...my mistake. I'll be using Pelican from now on.

Not necessarily.... I have removed a "blue cap" from a Porsche that says "VW" on it and the venting/release structure is very different. I think for the price (usually under $20) it is best to stick with the latest Porsche cap.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah- I assumed I would be getting a Porsche cap. I did get the Conti belt I wanted though. I suppose I'll just keep the black cap for my emergency kit I keep in the boot. I looked at Pelican and they advertise the Porsche blue cap- lesson learned
