[Vwdiesel] O-ring for throttle shaft

[James Hansen]

Is that from personal experience? or second hand?
That is certainly not the case locally.
If you can't get it, PM me, I'll drop by the local Bosch shop and pop 
one in the mail.
Usually, shops set local policy like that when a  local DIY'er buys a 
dollar fifty worth of o-rings, then demand enough free education from 
the staff at the back to be able to rebuild an entire pump themselves, 
and becomes a pest.
