[Vwdiesel] copper washers

[Shawn Wright]

I would re-use them if you still have them. I've had most of those fittings on & off a 
few times, and never replaced the washers, no leaks. The only leak I've had is the 
drain to pan compression fitting, but this could have been from not being tight 
enough.
