With the insides of R8 coolant cap removed it will be glued on the top of original blue cap with a special body mastique.

Of course, the original cap is purchased brand new before this operation to renew relief valve and gasket.

Here's the additional "R8 cap" kit Neil on top of the basic one from the 1st post of this thread:

1. 420 121 321 -- black R8 cap
2. 443 121 321 -- blue D2 cap (better to use the new one)

3. Options for polyurethane adhesives (I used Option A)
A. Petec 94730 Car Body Sealant Adhesive Putty Black
B. Sikaflex by Sika
C. Sodudaflex by Soudal

Passats B2's came with absolutely the same windscreen fluid cap (113 955 455), but in yellow/amber colour. I think I will take that one, so all other 'functions' including oil dip stick are marked amber/yellow in colour.

There was a very good reason that the screen wash was a different colour, one of my ex's topped up her brake fluid with screen wash and then complained the washers still weren't working
