which oil seal

[johns90]

Replacing the rear crank oil seal on the 200tdi prior to doing the conversion. Now where to get the seal from, Ebay has them for around £10. Dealer £30.
Which would be the best?????????
I am thinking dealer cos I dont want to do it twice

 

[jamesmartin]

oe or geniune parts dont need to come from dealer were you will pay stupid price often google err2532g ,g means genuine

 

[johns90]

My god James how do you cope with all these part numbers rolling around your head????(thanks)
My reason for the dealer was that I would be garrenteed to have the best and I would be willing to pay the extra as I don`t want to take it apart again.

 

[johns90]

Heres a thought........If I swap all of the rear of the engine(clutch, flywheel and the bit of bellhousing thats bolted to the engine), Do I get a seal for a 200tdi or the 19j??????

 

[jamesmartin]

its the same seal

 

[johns90]

Thanks James, got a bit worried for a sec then as already spoke to the dealer. What do you do for the gasket on the between the engine and bellhousing? Will instant do or replace the whole thing?

 

[SpringDon]

I used a 200 tdi gasket which has sealant beads already on it. On the 19j bell housing there will be extra sticking out. But I think that's better than using 1 pint of goo.

 

[jamesmartin]

gasket is definately bad it was introduced for the tendency of previous engine to leak through rear main oil seal

 

[johns90]

So James would you buy a new gasket or just instant for the mateing faces?

Instant gasket will be fine for bell housing... iirc LR went over to building all thier gearboxes with gunk instead of gaskets around 1994 anyway...
