Astra got a new sealing ring for the charge air hose. Different design, someone worked out that these seal better than the original square profile seal, which was leaking air and a bit of oil from the crankcase ventilation.

General Moppel wants to sell you a whole new charge air hose for €LOL, but I found these on Allegro for a reasonable price (ok, still expensive for two o-rings, but I didn't have the measurements).

A couple bright red/orange sealing rings. Bottom the old top seal with square profile, that wasn't sealing well. Top two new round profile ones of slightly differents sizes.
View into the charge air hose, which is pulled off. The new sealing ring is installed inside, with some of the PCV oil smeared around to make it easier to get on, as it's a good tight fit now.

@yngmar reminded old times - golf II has bad front bushings, so ppl found that bushing from oper kadett will fit after take 1 mm out on lathe and will hold forever.
Thinking out of box 😉
