brickers:

This relates to another post, but I figured I'd toss it up on its own since it's a specific question.

I have a black cap on the coolant expansion tank that I beleive is shot. Looking around online at importec and thepartsbin I have only found the green cap listed for my model and year. Just want to be sure that:

green cap, part #G1040-62115

can be used for a 1985 745t, and that it won't cause more problems than it solves. The black cap I have has "75 kPa" typed on it, while the green one has "150 kPa". What's the difference... is a higer ratng better or will it fail to open when necessary to save my radiator?

Thanks in advance for the help.
