Piston Oil Spray Nozzle Sealing Paste Question

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Maybe Dave U. can give us some insight into this green goo.  He has been
quiet lately, maybe he is on vacation?
Since you mentioned that it is expensive at the dealer I was hoping that
there was a Permatex substitute.

The official sealant goo from VW is green, which is what I used when I
visited
this scenerio.  I bought it from the dealer, and it wasn't cheap if I 
remember right.
