bantamdave21 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Hiya people, Quick or maybe not so quick one. I recently did my timing belt and changed the front crank seal at the same time as there was a slight leak from that area. Well despite my positive post the other day it seems I still have the leak but a little worse than before. When I changed the front seal there was what appeared to me a machined depressed ring in the crankshaft. It appeared too precise to be damage from a seal and also too deep.. Is this an intentional piece of machining does anyone know? Wondering if I’ve just got a poor quality seal and should get a VAG one with housing or if the groove in the shaft is something more sinister…. looks like it’s coming apart again regardless 🤬 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
