Those rubber pieces are oil deflectors that normally sit on the valve stem, but
usually harden and drop off eventually.  They deflect a bit of oil onto the stem
to lubricate the guide slightly.  For that reason they are worth putting on if
you have the heads off any time, but I doubt you will miss them, as VW stopped
fitting them at some point.
