ped Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 i've just ordered a new rear seal for my 300 with the two extra holes in the bottom as used on the TGV can the holes be drilled and tapped in situe to make use of these holes-i've not as yet pulled the gearbox and flywheel but it would be good to know before hand as i really don't want to pull the engine as at present the gearbox is the easier option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 The extra holes are not needed on the 300 , the important thing is that it is a Turner seal and not a JLR as they certainly were oversize in recent years and, for Turners, a known fault Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpelly Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) Having just done this on our 300Tdi, I can confirm that the extra holes are not needed. Happily can also confirm that we no longer have any oil leaks from the rear crank onto the garage floor. Some pictures to that may help. Having some threaded studs to act as guide pins helped to ensure a perfect alignment. Used the recommended sealant by Turners also for this specific job as stated on their website. Simon...
