This make them swell up and soften. It's unfortunate that VW made some poor choices for rubber materials when they speced some of their rubber parts. A particularly bad example of this is the rubber gasket that seals between the oil filler socket and the body of the car. These always get oily and eventually turn to mush. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
