I do not know, but any VW dealer does.  The 1.4 mm orifice is
slightly smaller than 1/16"; if you don't have a #54 drill handy you
could likely get away with 1/16.

I really don't know.  It's hard for me to understand why it's there at all.

Ah.  It says 0,15 mm, which is European for 0.15 mm (aka six
thousandths of an inch).  That's a very very small hole, half the
size of a #80 drill.  It might be possible to mold a bead of epoxy
around a greased strand of wire or maybe nylon monofilament.  But I
suggest seeing if VW has 'em before doing without or trying to build one.
