My 02' Jetta 1.8t (no mark on head AMB,AWP,etc..) 203,200 miles just started leaking oil where the Trans connects to Engine. So Im looking into parts now :P

Sounds like its time for a 034Motorsport Rear Main Seal!

[@drr1384]

Any idea if the MK8 has a revised rear main seal from factory?

[@034motorsport]

Not to our knowledge! It appears to visually be the same as the MK7

Happy to know that I bought a quality seal, i bought one for a tsi 2.0t... do you know the torque spec for the rear main bolts that come with the kit?

[@034motorsport]

9NM is the torque spec for the bolts! Shoot us an email at [e-mail] and we can provide further assistance if needed!

Happy with a stolen, patented iAbed design?

[@034motorsport]

Stolen? That’s false, our design is based off the OEM rear main seal flanges, we did a clean sheet design with improvements over what was available and brought it to market for a lower price. We do live in a free market economy after all and we aren’t threatened by some competition, our design also doesn’t violate the existing ornamental patent. God bless America 👍🏼
