Roger Chatfield 0 Posted November 20, 2013 Evening chaps, Out of interest how difficult is it to replace the crank seal?? I realise the gearbox needs to come off but is it then just a case of digging the old seal out and replace or is there more to it? Rog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted November 20, 2013 Really easy, when you buy it from VW it comes with a plastic thing to help fit it, but i lost that the 2nd time and managed quite easily without. Think i used two bits of wood to gently tap it in with a hammer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted November 20, 2013 Indeed. Not too much needs to come off to remove the GB, so as long as you can get the car up at a reasonable height to menouvre it out, you'll have no trouble Rog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerrly 0 Posted November 20, 2013 if yours is leaking it may have already contaminated the clutch. My brother's VR6 went in for a new seal and clutch last week after his failed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Chatfield 0 Posted November 20, 2013 I'm hoping it's just the sump seal but was just asking incase it's more serious. Rog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
