Could it be coming from higher up...crank case seal?

Almost a year to the day since having my gearbox stripped and repaired due to the spider gear spline failure I have noticed a leak at the driveshaft seal for the drivers (longer) driveshaft. I will speak to the company that repaired the gearbox on Tuesday and hopefully they will sort it...

Poking around the T6 the other day and noticed a bit of an oil leak … was sue for a service anyway , so got my local VW to have a look at it . Turns out it’s leaking form the crank case oil seal …. This a common issue ? Also I was told that the ‘ all in vw extended warranty’ doesn’t cover oil...

Still the same! I’m planning on doing the crank seal slight weep of oil…timing kit and replacing the gear in case it’s a bit worn. One thing I did notice is the timing tensioner seems to move slightly not whilst running but if you check day to day it definitely shift a few mm which is a concern...

check your crank case oil seal is still ok if not a good one to do at the same time and obviously changing the water pump with timing belt is a no brainer

Will do all the above cheers, I’m a decorator and know zilch about engines, if my display says do this or that I just get it done

Broken springs = common and been rectified (would probably check both had been replaced!) Front Oil Leak = probably crank case oil seal, known issue, mine was the same. Now MOT item and unlikely to be excessive. expensive repair though Rear brake wearing thin .... just a warning to monitor. mine...

Hi there, I have a leak on my T6 2.0 102bhp engine, I looked underneath and it’s coming from the crank case oil seal, also I had my cam belt and water pump done (year and half ago) does any one know a good Vw specialist garage in and around Cardiff area please

ref the comments about catch cans with filters - personally I wouldn't fit one with a filter as that can lead to increased crank case pressure and leaking seals, inc the main seal

Please explain

Hi guys, I have a leaking crank case oil seal (timing belt side) - is there a link to a VW workshop manual somewhere detailing the procedure to replace? Garage are concerned it may be Teflon and require an expensive installation tool so advised I’d ask here. I should add I’m not losing much oil...

T6.1 New seal for crank case discovered at 20.000 service and oil change. £1.052 pounds. 5 hour job. Fortunately inside warranty. How would you know if not for service inspection. No sensor light etc. Had a T5 for seven years not one problem. This T6.1 is like a high maintenance hooker.

Have you got pics of the leak? The new Crank seal needs sealant to the block.... Mine was weeping oil after the VWCV job and needed tightening up. Or is it leaking from the bearing area? In any case it's not good that VW are claiming small print waffle and swerving oil leak jobs.....that's...

I know there are numerous posts on this but just looking for a very simple unequivocal explanation of how it can be done at a main dealers if indeed one exists. I have read posts where it is stated they won’t entertain changing the settings which if that be the case the following is irrelevant...

“High maintenance hooker”…ain’t that the truth

Seem to recall 14 ish pages of “small print “ which is then open to interpretation by VWs underwriters in some instances. Despite all the exclusions the fact you have to pay the dealers to find a fault is slightly unreasonable given you think you have a peace of mind warranty imo. They have to...

whilst my van was in for a major service under the All-In plan the tech did suggest to me that this was a common issue and they were seeing a lot of these head unit replacements coming in and indeed being replaced under the warranty. he said the units become very slow to respond and as the OP...

I just paid £1200 for crank seal cambelt water pump and re seal of sump. Was still leaking oil so now it's got to go back in for crankshaft seal all because they missed this first time around. Tell me about it there hard work iv just been quoted ten grand by VW to put mine right. Finance...

I agree that there is a risk if not sized correctly. The pressure only increase if flow is restricted. Take care with the bore of fittings and hoses to ensure that they are not smaller than the OEM system, avoiding tight bends. There will be some frictional loss in the system but given the short...

I took my T32 204 DSG 4Motion in for its first oil change, and they found a leak in the crank case oil seal. Obviously all fixed under warranty, but the guy at Cordwallis VW said it’s not uncommon. So thought I’d post it just in case anyone wants to check theirs
