Listers;
I got around to taking the PDWA apart in my '6 today with O-rings in hand.  
There is only one problem;  they are the wrong size.  The ones recommended 
were:
ID- .375, OD - .250, Width - .070
These are way too big.  The markings on the PDWA are:
4324/641, and, 51K27.
Near as I can tell, the size I need is:
ID - .196, OD - .312, Width - .096
Also, my piston is very different from the one pictured in the VTR web page.  
There are no circlips on it and it is a kind of torpedo shape on both ends.  
When I pulled it apart the O-rings in it were kind of sticky (possibily from 
the silicone?) but otherwise looked ok.  There was no fluid where the switch 
was located.  I will go to the local seal supplier tomorrow and see if I can 
find the right O-rings for my application.
Any comments?
