BTW weak bales can also cause leaks.

FYI: Metric Auto Parts ( in St. Paul and St. Louis Park) stocks these (and lots of other great parts for old VWs). I try to give them my business whenever possible. Also...if you go to the St. Paul location, bring your kids: Zud likes to give out HotWheels cars (there's usually a good assortment of Porsches, VWs and BMWs) to kids that promise to help their dads! :sunny:

Thanks for the tip about Metro. Had no idea there was a place like this in town! Is the one in St. Louis Park near Micro Center?

Yep, that's the one...call first: sometimes they have to transfer from the St. Paul mother-ship (on Smith Av at the top of the High Bridge).
