Product Description
This Arrowhead oil seal crank front 30x40x7mm is designed for the front of the crankshaft, helping to prevent oil leaks where the crankshaft exits the engine block. It features a metal-reinforced outer ring and a precision-moulded sealing lip to maintain a tight seal under engine operating conditions.
This seal is suitable for select models from Mercedes-Benz, Opel, and Renault. Due to varying engine designs and specifications, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
A worn or damaged crankshaft front oil seal may cause visible oil leaks at the front of the engine, oil residue on engine components, or even low oil levels. You might also notice increased oil consumption or a burning oil smell. In severe cases, engine performance can be affected.
It is recommended to replace the crankshaft front oil seal at the first sign of leakage or during timing belt or chain service. Timely replacement helps to prevent further engine damage and maintain proper lubrication.
