you are planning on buying an ATF resistant o-ring by metric size ?????

I would order one from a competent VW dealer parts department,
or a vanagon transaxle rebuilder ..
or just reseal it with a really good silicone sealant..

I use toyota black sealant a lot..
and they also sell  a red one specifically for ATF use.

or use The Right Stuff..
and even new ..
I never put an o-ring in dry ..or just lubed.
they will always leak later without a sealant as well.
