Product Description
The Arrowhead Oil Seal Crank Rear 85x142x17mm is an essential component in the crankshaft seal, gaskets, and seals category, designed specifically for Audi and Volkswagen engines. This rear crankshaft oil seal sits at the back of the engine, preventing oil leaks where the crankshaft exits the engine block. It features an integrated housing and a precision sealing lip to maintain a tight seal under various operating conditions.
This part is compatible with select Audi and Volkswagen models, including those commonly fitted with 1.6 and 2.0 TDI engines. It is important to check your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to confirm correct fitment before ordering. The design includes provisions for crankshaft position sensor compatibility, which is critical for modern engine management systems.
Common symptoms of a failing rear crankshaft oil seal include visible oil leaks at the back of the engine, increased oil consumption, oil stains under the vehicle, clutch contamination (for manual gearboxes), engine misfires due to sensor issues, and a burning oil smell. If left unaddressed, a worn or damaged seal can lead to further engine or transmission complications.
Replacement of the rear crankshaft oil seal is recommended if you notice any oil seepage or during major engine or gearbox work. Always use the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's guidelines when installing a new seal to ensure proper alignment and sealing.
