Hey all. I have the 90455 check engine light code happening. I was to start with a new gas cap. I know Volvos can be picky with parts. Do I have to get a Volvo brand cap or is there another brand I can get?
Thanks!

I've never had good luck with the auto parts store caps but then again the problem, as much as we would all like to wish, is rarely in the cap anyway. The lines back by the fuel tank, particularly at the roll over valve, are the ones that tend to rot.

I bought one of these OEM caps off eBay for $17 and it has been working fine for the last few months.

eBay item 251863868429. (I do not know the seller but had a good experience.)
