Someone last year posed the same question and here was my reply:

Water Tank Caps:
80-84  VW # 253 067 285 (Size unknown but different from late style, I think
larger)
85-91  VW # 255 070 802B (Size 35x4)

Waste Water Cap Assembly (VW calls it an "Evacuating Valve")
All Years  VW # 255 070 807
Note:  As posted by Mark earlier, the cap by itself is the same threads as a
common garden hose, easily found at any Lowes or Home Despot.
