Mk. 4 Volkswagen Jetta TDI - Crankshaft Oil Seal Replacement (Timing Belt Replacement Part 6)

This week on the channel, a week after getting the timing belt off the car, Greg continues on with the Timing Belt Replacement work. But going a little bit off the typical script, he decides to replace the Crankshaft Oil Seal first before reinstalling the Crankshaft Sprocket and Bolt.

Completely dry install for PTFE seals...rubber seals oil as per usual

Yes indeed!

How to lock the crankshaft while torquing?

[@GBProductions0]

Hello, I believe it is shown in the videos, but I have a custom made plate with mounting holes that fasten to the crankshaft timing sprocket and then rotates against the subframe/control arm to allow for torqueing of the crankshaft bolt. There is also a VW SST (Special Service Tool) that is listed in the service manual and is likely available through various sources online. Thanks for the comment! Greg

Witaj jakiej siły użyłeś żeby odkręcić to śrubę na wale korbowym żeby zdemontować kulko zębate napędzania paska rozrządu???

[@GBProductions0]

Wymagało to dużej siły. Użyłem długiego drążka zabezpieczającego, oparłem stopy o samochód i pociągnąłem tak mocno, jak tylko mogłem, aby go poluzować.

[@MsMad555]

I jeszcze pytanie w którą stronę się odkręca tą śrubę zgodnie czy przeciwnie do ruchu wskazówek zegara -srube która wkrecasz w wał korbowy???

[@GBProductions0]

To zwykła śruba z blachy, którą wkręciłem w starą uszczelkę olejową, aby dać mi możliwość wyciągnięcia uszczelki. Dostępne są lepsze narzędzia do usuwania pieczęci.

Fun, fun times! Thanks for the tips and tricks. Hopefully my seal replacement goes as easy as yours did! I just replaced the timing belt, water pump, studs and pulleys about a year and a half ago. The both the cam and crank seals looked perfect so we didn't wanna mess with them. Welp I guess hindsight being 20/20 we shoulda messed with them. 😂 This lil mk4 1.9tdi alh is still going strong at 333,880 miles so I know she's got another 330k left! 🍻 brother

Hey there, Glad you found the video helpful! Yes I always resort to replacing all the oil seals even if they look new as it's not worth the extra time and frustration to pull it back apart again if it starts leaking and risk getting oil on the new belt. Yeah you should be good for another few hundred thousand miles. I know several of these cars that are over 750,000km+ with original turbos and injection pumps. Thanks for the comment! Greg

@@GBProductions0 Next time I replace the water pump and timing belt I'm definitely doing the seals after I do it this time around. 😂 Have you ever watched Thomas EXOVCDS here on themtubes? He's a mechanic in Canada and has a customer who's got the same tdi and it turned one million km not long ago. All my friends tell me to get a new ride but I'm happy without a car note and getting in upwards of 40-45 mpg. Have a blessed day. 🍻 brother.

[@GBProductions0]

I have not watched Thomas before, but I might have to check it out! Yeah, these TDIs are really bulletproof though if maintained correctly. I have no intention of getting a newer car at any point, I'm happy with my older Diesels and TDIs as well. Thanks, you as well!

[@MsMad555]

Jakiego uszczelniacza uzyles nowego w technologii PTFE czy może fluoro kauczuk???

[@GBProductions0]

Nie użyłem żadnej formy uszczelniacza na uszczelce olejowej wału korbowego. To idzie razem czyste i suche.

[@MsMad555]

@@GBProductions0 thank you and have a nice day for you!
