Hi Mike, about "...the same part number is used for both a 10mm and a 12mm
seal. "

Yikes, I am not doing this project, but when I read this it raised some
confusion!  What?

Does anybody know how this works, did VW have a temporary shortage of part
numbers?  Any explanation for why they would do this, never heard of such a
thing.

Thanks!
Roland
