Sorry if this has been over multiple times. Didn't hit any thing on point with a search,

I seem to recall that they were non-essential mine are in rotten shape, but I could snag some new ones if need be or leave em put.

Should I worry about it or just run without em? (What the hell are they supposed to do anyway (besides machine pushrods?)?

OH, and is there any difference in GREEN and RED upper pushrod tube seals? Boy those are a pain to get in without pinching.

The springs are supposed to hold the tubes down and make sure they stay in the case. I say use 'em.

Originally, there were different color seals for the inner and outer ends of the tube. (They're different sizes, of course.) Then different materials started using different colors as well. I think the RED ones may be the original-type ones, and the GREEN ones are an improved material.

Brown (usually, but not always) Viton seals are preferred.

Alrighty, they are in there............................

i got the part # from the pet cd and just ordered them from the local vw dealer. They showed up the next day and they were the green viton type.
I think tey were about $1.50 each.
