160 isn't that far off from 100 and will pass a signal just fine. It's not a tuned or precision circuit so that value isn't critical.

I'd say a coupling cap could easily be +100% or more and you wouldn't notice a difference. Now if it was shorted or very leaky that's another story. IIRC a leaky cap will measure as having a higher capacitance.
