Spcial VW lubricant??

[funkypaul]

Hi all,
I've just taken apart the ball joint at the base of my gearstick and now have in pieces to get it clean...

When I put it back together the Haynes manual says to coat everything in 'special VW lubricant'...what the hell is that? The parts are all plastic and the outer rubber case which holds it all together is, as I say rubber, so not sure what's best. My default would have been to use grease, but I know it's either grease or oil which don't do rubber any favours.

Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks,
Paul
