The description of washer probably came from VW. Many parts have weird
names like this on the invoices. I guess VW likes to confuse us.

Subject: Incongruous Descriptions

Has anyone else ever looked up a part in ETKA or ETOS to find the part
number, gone to Camelback VW or Bus Depot's web site, typed in the
number,
and been presented with a description for that part that
doesn't...quite...seem....right? For example: the seal for the cover
over
the auto tranny shift governer. Round gasket thingy, right? ETKA calls
it
"003 325 381 - seal 90x3". Camelback and BD (apparently using the same
VW
database) both call this part number "washer". The price ($6-$7) is more
in
line for a gasket than a "washer", so it's maybe a mistranslation
somewhere?
I've run into it with a couple other things too.
