Sorry, I misread your post...

http://vagparts.2am.fi/index.php?part=053905205D

The above link seems to be the part, but as you say these seem to come with the wrong cap.

I have a vested interest in solving this- you never know when I will get the same problem

I'm hoping to replace the o-ring, as part of the hunt for why my Coupe goes through so much oil. (Yes, valve stem seals are a concern, but 1litre a month is a lot, I think)

Good Luck!

wow 1 litre a month, i doubt valve stems would burn that much, if so you would tell as it would run like a bag of nails. Have you got leaks? you will tell if its coming from the dizzy housing as there will be oil on your gearbox and also it would burn on the exhaust downpipe as its right next to where it would leak onto. I lost about half a cup when removing my dizzy. i've ordered a 2nd hand proper dizzy with bolt down cap as well as the corrado one just so ive got a back up in future. Its left me with a dead coupe for 2 week, just from 1 simple part so i dont want this happening again. It looks like its stumped everyone else too as ive had no feedback from various forums including this one
