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.

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. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon "Keine Bange, wir holen die Zange!" |
