Product Description
This Oil Seal Rear Main 85x105x11mm is designed for use in the crankshaft seal gaskets and seals category, providing a crucial barrier at the rear main location of the engine. It plays a vital role in keeping engine oil from leaking out where the crankshaft exits the engine block. This seal is especially important in maintaining proper lubrication and preventing contamination of engine components.
This specific oil seal is compatible with select Audi and Volkswagen models. It is commonly used in vehicles such as the Audi A3, TT 3.2, and certain Volkswagen Golf and Jetta models with matching engine configurations. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
Typical symptoms of a failing rear main oil seal include visible oil leaks between the engine and gearbox, oil spots under the vehicle, low oil levels, clutch contamination, burning oil smells, and increased oil consumption. You might also notice oil accumulating around the bellhousing area or unusual engine noises due to low lubrication.
If you observe any of these symptoms or are undertaking a clutch or gearbox replacement, it is advisable to inspect and replace the rear main oil seal. Replacing this seal at the correct interval helps prevent costly engine and transmission repairs due to oil loss or contamination.
