DIY rear main seal (RMS) replacement for VW and Audi 4 cyl engine, T10134 required for mk5, mk6+

[@mkatalin09]

i have done this 50 times without the tool and never had problems,but its good to know there is a tool for this

[@zbynek-motorpoint8269]

Same I do. Without a tool and maybe 20x, no problems. Just crankshaft must be properly fixed at TDC. And because original tool for crankshaft fixing let moving about 1 deg., better to check TDC on 1st piston with gauge. This way you´ll get exact TDC and if you have sensor ring hole corresponding to the sign on seal, there is no space to make mistake.

[@ottoman90atrix]

Hey man wonder if you can help i changed the seal but i think im 180 degrees out i didnt line up the cams on tdc just used the dial gauge and now car wont start and i dont really wanna take gearbox off again would i be able to just put crank to tdc remove chain and rotate cams 180 degrees ?

[@zbynek-motorpoint8269]

Did you use dial gauge at 1st cylinder? Was cam locked with tool? If yes, you are not 180 degs off. If not, go with pistons to the middle (coz of risk to bend valves), rotate camshaft 180 degs and ho back to TDC on 1st piston...

[@zwidich]

@@zbynek-motorpoint8269 Hi. Could you please explain how to check with a gauge? And what gauge

[@zbynek-motorpoint8269]

@@zwidich You can use the hole for the injector to measure when the piston is exactly at top dead center (TDC). And how to measure it with an indicator? Try to find a video here, there are hundreds...

[@anonymausgender6551]

You are the first one to say that u shouldnt move the rear main seal bc it wont start !!! People dont know this , thanks so much ❤️❤️

[@briandavison2849]

great video .it was to late for me i didnt notice until i had taken it off . i watched this it was a great help .i could not hire this tool so . first put on the rear seal . using 7 mm long bolts to guide me on and the inner sleeve that came with the new seal. i didnt bolt it up at this stage .i then checked my crankshaft was locked with the correct tool . then i put a line strait through the middle of the 6.oclock crankshaft bolt . and the 12 oclock bolt hole .i then used the locating tag that came with the new seal. and used that to line up my hole in the timing ring and outer housing . tapped it flush all the way round with the crankshaft . then used a small hammer and a dial gauge to get my 0.5mm from ring to the end of the crank. put it all back and it runs fine .thanks for you help

[@luckythirteen77]

Was looking for IDI '81 main seal instructions and found this very informative and well edited video of not my engine. lol

[@jkbenedict]

My weekend is going to suck, but seriously -- thanks for the DIY guide!!

[@mariuszkoczara2164]

Sorry but for me that hole on speed sensor ring need to be at 12 oclock does not matter if cams are 180 or 360 cose your crank shaft hole marke will be at 12 oclock anyway, one turn for crank then cams on 180 second full turn for crank and cams 360 then your mark still will be at 12 oclock only thing is the ring need to be lined up with mark on case but when u buy new one comes with plastick line up guide. Please correct me if i am wrong

[@davidstagg314]

I replaced my transmission, clutch and rear main seal last weekend. Didn't know when the ring was for so I left it out 😂. It starts pretty rough but runs and drives fine. Looks like I'll be taking the transmission out again this weekend

[@jasonga]

What a bummer…..

[@ACitizenOfOurWorld]

Wow, what an over engineered ridiculously over the top contraption to install such a flimsy piece of teflon in such a high pressure high importance location. WTF was VW thinking? Rube Goldberg design award submission?

[@ryantornai945]

At least the gas turbo cars of this gen dont use this. Just a regular seal plate

[@JoseLopez-oe3qb]

Son of a beeeppper.

[@jaj07]

Great vid, thanks! Almost let my garage attempt to change that seal before I or they knew about the special tool you need.

[@ScottALewis]

Not a single video online shows you how to get to this point:) Trying to finds the steps to take the gearbox off, etc., 2001 audi tt quattro. Just spent 8 months rebuilding my engine, one seal left:)

[@chrisfife1183]

I can confirm you need special tool for installation. I just eyed it up. Engine hard to start and revved poorly. Found a specialty hire shop. Now to do it again properly 🙄

[@smiddy19801]

I bust the new seal when i tried with by eye!!

[@Berniessen]

I am not going to say VW makes bad cars/engines but they just make them so complicated compared to old engines,it simpley scares me how VW designed this. On my car i need a screw + screwdriver and plier to get the seal ring out and plastic hammer to get the new sealring in....For me as a mechanic these cars would never be a first choise i like things simple and solid,and not complicated like this.

[@pavletosinski889]

Hello, please for help, before one month ago I have wash up the engine and after that come out error "Bank 1, camshaft position / crankshaft position sensor - incorrect assign" on diagnostic. I want to ask because the hole where the sensor is mounted is big so it is possible this ring with teeth can be displaced out of position in case water comes in this place? I can't see from video where is this ring fixed on the axis.

[@Tws-cv1si]

I have attempted to fit a new rear main oil seal to my Golf 2.0 tdi BKD engine using this tool but when I fit the tool to the engine the black pin does not line up with a hole in the crankshaft, what have I done wrong? Engine is at TDC locked with correct locking tools.

[@Dymundback]

This here video is for them diesels. My new rear main seal doesn't have that part for the crank sensor. So I can just plop it onto my 1.8t petrol engine without worry of it being at TDC or not. That's quite reassuring. Also I think smearing on some RTV in them corners would be our best bet. Doing this on my audi this weekend.

[@Tepify]

Just replaced the RMS on my Volkswagen Golf R. Also didn’t have the crank sensor, so I’m in the same boat as you. Hoping I didn’t need to align top dead center or any of the steps taken in the video. I just plopped my RMS in with a little bit of gasket sealant

[@richis2fast4u]

Can you get to that front part of the engine to set up TDC without taking anything off?

[@zdzichzcan2808]

Any way I mast Fixe out of tools Thanks for this video, on the end where you put caliper ? I missed that

[@maajikakitchen1882]

The is the best video ever seen. I have replaced head gasket. After that I couldn’t get started my engine VW PASSAT 2.0 since from last one month. When I watched this video. I did same has the man telling about crankshaft sensor ring After did everything in order my engine is running and working fine I would like to say thank you the all information you been gave to me Thanks for this video

[@shaahidmia8188]

I have a jetta mk5 5 rear main seal replaced but my car has a pinging noise will it be related to the rear main seal timing

[@jasonga]

Brilliant video and thanks for showing! The question is though, can it be done Without the special tool???

[@napper1496]

Course it can!! Btw has anyone got an engine for sale?

[@zainfaruk5202]

Hi I have a vw amarok 2.0 l TDI vehicle does not start it was idling I pressed accelerator I went to 2000 revealed and cut off won't start I crank it no power coming to injectors what can be the problem

[@mrzaima]

An Excellent video. but can you please explain why do you need to tighten more? what if the space wasn't 0.5 mm (what will the engine be like after starting it)? i had the dealer change it for me, but i feel vibration in the engine and loss of power after repairing that seal. Rpm also decreases a little after switching ac on , and then regains its idle again.Any suggestions about the cause? it's a CAXA 1.4tsi engine 2010

[@HristovRumen]

Mohamed Reda Zaima the crankshaft tone ring is probably slightly misaligned. Needs to be redone most probably. Scanning the car for corelation errors would be the first step. Then the shop must look for actual waveforms of crank to cam and compare to known goods. But since this happened right after a rear main replacement, it probably is that.

[@minitobe8525]

do you still have to take both the eninge and transmission out to get it done? is there a shortcut?

[@YNTGUNS]

Just the transmission

[@paulbucknall2435]

i notices you were on 0.6mm clearance how did you get it back to 0.5mm?

[@MrJ-wrench]

You have to removed the seal and pressed it again

[@anthonyshaw7251]

Is that gap with the ring pushed deeper than the crank, because the flywheel sits flush to the crank. Picture looked as if ring was protruding off crank, if you understand, cheers.

[@kevinmcdermid1118]

​@@anthonyshaw7251thats what I was wondering. Where you correct?

[@anthonyshaw7251]

@@kevinmcdermid1118I’m a field service engineer on forklift trucks only done one, I put it in by hand aligning the holes on the ring & cover plate, book says recess ring by 0.5mm, I did this with shim steel on the ring & used the flywheel to push the ring in until flywheel secured to crank.

[@dtheo5113]

Why does it need to be at tdc? As long as the sender wheel locating pin is at 12 o’clock and the new seal goes on in exactly same position I don’t see a problem. If it’s 180’ degrees out of tdc then you would need to rotate crank 1 full turn to exactly the same position 🤔

[@Benko_DieseL]

can you please tell me where it the g28 engine speed sensor located in passat b6 2.0 tdi 170 bmr stock?

[@rebel.mma.youtube]

Hello. Amazing video. Will subscribe. May I ask a question about the crank sensor? My son's car via code is saying crankshaft sensor fault. So I replaced. It still cutting out. When I replaced it was full of oil. So was looking fir videos on rear crank seals to see if oil shoukd even be on the sensor. Then I noticed thst ring with teeth? If one of the teeth are broken will this cause faults? Will the set up in this video be the same for an audi a3 2020 1.6? If so I might replace the rear seal n that ring with the teeth?

[@mony3476]

The information you provide us very useful for mechanics. Thanks for sharing.

[@kevinmcdermid1118]

In what way is it 0.5mm. Do you mean 0.5mm in further for the ring than the the seal or vice versa?

[@dennislnbrewing]

Shouldn’t matter if you’re at TDC on cyl 1 or not. Just if your timing marks are at “0”. It would be 360 degrees out if not at TDC which shouldn’t matter….. right? About to do mine and find out!

[@lusilk77]

Just today I had to fix and remove a transmission of a 2014 Polo diesel 4 times . It won't start after changing that. I had to go to VW for help. They did!

***** What I was trying to say that on my two cars (not volkswagens) I can replace the crankshaft seal with a screwdriver, a hammer and possibly a bit of wood. On one car I need 8mm socket - that is it. I do't understand why vw makes it so overly complicated. I wouldn't obviously attempt to do the job like the one on the video with a hammer as the engine would be probably fucked. I have to make my posts clearer sometimes I guess.
