Not to hijack the thread, but I recently had a rad cap problem. I first noticed it when the coolant level in the recovery tank never changed. It was always the same. One morning I opened the rad cap and there was quite a vacuum in there, so I was rather certain the cap was defective. A couple of days later I was going through the drive-thru and smelled coolant, hopped out and coolant had sprayed all over my engine from the cap. Took it to the dealer that day and it's been fine since.
I did tow a TT to Arizona and back prior to this and didn't experience engine temp problems but did have trans temp running hot, though that was due to running up hills in 4th gear instead of 3rd.
I'm surprised to hear there have been others with defective caps, I figured it was a fluke.
