87 4kq coolant reservoir cap bad?

[Cade Carvell]

Thanks,
  I am going to try a Metric Auto Parts in St Paul then the dealership.
 I was unaware that once these popped, they were bad.  Who knew?

Thanks,

I'm told all the Audi reservoirs take the same cap:  443 121 321.  Last
two
I bought were $9 each.
