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

ditto

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

TSMacNeil

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.

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
