Are all coolant pressure tanks equal?
I have a weepy cap, it'seems been replaced but still not perfect, rim on the tank looks OK but wonder if I'd be worth replacing with one from BW rather than the GSF or Euro car parts one that I currently have.

No they’re not
I once had a JK one that burst when only a week old. They offered to send me a replacement one 
. I opted for a refund and got a Brickwerks one

Out of stock on Brickwerks, have to try elsewhere and maybe do again at a later date.

Have you tried VW?
My van parts center ordered one for me and it arrived next day.
