trickydicky Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 hi all I recently changed my chassis and decided to do the rear main seal on the 200tdi engine i used the Teflon seal as id heard good things .i finished the project and filled the engine up with fluids and ran it until it was warm when i looked underneath i was horrified to find oil constantly dripping out of the bell housing . I'm assuming iv damaged the seal getting it in .con anybody give me some of advise on the best seal to fit as I don't want to do it again for a while .

western Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Corteco rear crank seal, IIRC mine came from Turners https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/err-2532-rear-oil-seal-c2x21124150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will@LRW Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Ideally you would leave it 24 hours to settle onto the crank before starting the engine, which can account for even good quality seals leaking This and a few other of Mike's videos around the same time are a good exploration of the issues with the crank seal.
