Ah. Blau means blue. ........just checked the cap!!!! It is indeed blue, but has no branding! Least of all Blau!!! Gonna order one now!!!! Thank you!!! I'm so happy to have all these hopes bubbling nicely!!! Going to research everything I have learned!!! Thank you!!! Can't wait for tomorrow!!!!!!! Xxxxxx x.

Where do my replies go when they don't appear on the forum thing with all the others? I just replied...it disappeared! Anyway...looked at the cap, and although it is blue, and Blau means blue....there is no branding on it!!!! I'll order one now! Thank you!! Xxxxx.

Just found it on Coastal Homes site....there it says the cap is a VW brand.....looks exactly the same. :0(
Doh! Xxxxx

Check the pipe between the dalek cap and the topup tank, mine was blocked which led to similar problems.

They do fail no matter who makes them.My less than a year old blau one failed last week,luckily i always carry a spare.Take yours off and see if you can suck and blow down it.

Right!! I'm on it like a camper bonnet!!! (If it had one!!) Thank you!!! The garage from yesterday opens at 8.30 and I'll ask about the heater matrix too!!! Suck and blow, here I go!!!! :0) thank you!!! Xxxxx

That pipe he put on was one that had been kicking about!! I hope something crawled up in it and went and did the big sleep!! Suck and blow!! Xxxxxx

It's not the pipe you suck and blow its the bit that sticks out of the blau cap.After removing it of course.

Wahoooooooooooo!!!!!! No Sucky blowy!!!!!! The garage are getting one brought in!!!!! Thank yoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Plus I have it booked in today to get the matrix (Neo) heater looked at!!!! Yay!!!!!!! Thank yoooooooooooooo! !!!!!!! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Blau or even Meyle caps fine - just avoid the ones with the triangle on top unless you're stuck and have no other choice. Reasonably good rule of thumb. Plenty on ebay too to be honest.

I have in the past made the mistake of buying them from a couple of different eBay sellers,both times you could suck and blow through them.Same goes for one bought from my local auto factors.

I bought one direct from VW last year

Did you get it sorted if not and your still losing it get the head tested for cracks because I had a 1.6td and the head was cracked common problem when I first started it in the morning some water came from the exhaust and blow white smoke out like a boiling kettle.Now I have a 1.9td

Garage admitted getting wrong part...not genuine. They're replacing it today.....they say the vw part sucks but doesn't blow (or other way round) is that OK? ? Gonna honest vw. Not too happy with this garage really. They noticed a pipe had flattened (vacuum) but said it was 0k when the engine was running. Massively disappointed in them. Xxxxxx

Nope!!!! Today I drove about one hour......tank behind number plate is dry. Came in and cried. It's been pressure tested and I'm lost. Any ideas??? If this continues I'll have to sell......I don't work in the Winter as my work is seasonal......children's entertainer. Love and sobs xxxxxxxxx
