You can blame me for this one Cathy.  I built you that conflaburation
out of the 1.8 fuel dizzy from my Jetta (1.8 but straight CIS) and the
airflow plate I think was from Carrots.  Either way I figured the
O-ring looked OK, it was still supple anyways.

You can order a new o-ring, p/n 049 133 485 A, and you should be able
to lift the dizzy if you're careful without disconnecting the fuel
lines.  There's a retainer clip on the plunger, so it can't fall out.
