That's what I thought after the one on my 80 Vanagon went missing. I figure,
pay $12 for a $5 cap and be done with it!
I guess not! The VW parts guy couldn't find it on the system. Luckily, a
very sharp and nice guy on this list GAVE me one!
My first choice would still be one of the list vendors. I've had very good
luck with them.
