What is a rear main seal and why is it important?

The rear main seal is located at the back of the crankshaft, where it exits the engine block to connect to the transmission. Its main job is to prevent engine oil from leaking out of the crankcase. A leaking seal can cause significant oil loss and potentially drip onto hot exhaust parts.

What material is this rear main seal made from?

This Victor Reinz rear main seal is made from fluoroelastomer. This material is chosen for its ability to withstand high temperatures and resist degradation from engine oil.

Does this rear main seal come with any installation hardware?

This product includes the rear main seal itself. It is recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual for a complete list of parts and hardware needed for installation, as other components may need to be replaced during this procedure.

Product Details

This rear main seal is made from a durable fluoroelastomer material, which is known for its resistance to heat and oil. It's designed to fit precisely into the crankshaft housing, creating a tight seal that stops oil from escaping the engine. A failing rear main seal is a common cause of oil leaks that can drip onto your exhaust components, so replacing it is key to keeping your engine clean and preventing potential fire hazards.

Victor Reinz has a long history of making well-built engine components, and this seal is no exception. It's made to meet the original equipment specifications for your Volkswagen, ensuring it will perform as expected. When you're tackling a job like this, it's important to have a seal you can rely on to keep oil where it belongs, inside the engine.

This seal is a direct replacement part, meaning it's designed to install without modification. Make sure to refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct installation procedure and any associated parts you might need to replace while the engine is disassembled.
