i have done this 50 times without the tool and never had problems,but its good to know there is a tool for this

You are the first one to say that u shouldnt move the rear main seal bc it wont start !!! People dont know this , thanks so much ❤️❤️

great video .it was to late for me i didnt notice until i had taken it off . i watched this it was a great help .i could not hire this tool so . first put on the rear seal . using 7 mm long bolts to guide me on and the inner sleeve that came with the new seal. i didnt bolt it up at this stage .i then checked my crankshaft was locked with the correct tool . then i put a line strait through the middle of the 6.oclock crankshaft bolt . and the 12 oclock bolt hole .i then used the locating tag that came with the new seal. and used that to line up my hole in the timing ring and outer housing . tapped it flush all the way round with the crankshaft . then used a small hammer and a dial gauge to get my 0.5mm from ring to the end of the crank. put it all back and it runs fine .thanks for you help

Was looking for IDI '81 main seal instructions and found this very informative and well edited video of not my engine. lol

My weekend is going to suck, but seriously -- thanks for the DIY guide!!

Great vid, thanks! Almost let my garage attempt to change that seal before I or they knew about the special tool you need.

The information you provide us very useful for mechanics. Thanks for sharing.

can you please tell me where it the g28 engine speed sensor located in passat b6 2.0 tdi 170 bmr stock?

hi great video ,have you ever replaced the rear seal on a vw polo 1.4 6Q/9N/9N3 model approx 2003 ,its all very similar

That was a fantastic informative video thank you sir..

Brilliant video and thanks for showing! The question is though, can it be done Without the special tool???

any one know the tool number for the bjl 2.5 cr tdi engine used in the 2007 vw crafter and my other vehicles as the t10134 is slightly off centre as there is 8 flywheel bolts on the 2.5 tdi

Thanks mate- very informative 👍

Any need of timing for the back sender Vw polo 1.4 and this can stop engine to run ?just overhauled

Does someone have the part number? I am in Central America and without the part number it makes it very difficult to find it. Thanks. Will check in your forum as well.

How do you verify the old clutch isn't an aftermarket part or a fake original part that contains asbestos?

Can some tell me the position of a cranksensor plate for polo bby

Hello. Amazing video. Will subscribe. May I ask a question about the crank sensor? My son's car via code is saying crankshaft sensor fault. So I replaced. It still cutting out. When I replaced it was full of oil. So was looking fir videos on rear crank seals to see if oil shoukd even be on the sensor. Then I noticed thst ring with teeth? If one of the teeth are broken will this cause faults? Will the set up in this video be the same for an audi a3 2020 1.6? If so I might replace the rear seal n that ring with the teeth?

Hey anyone know if this tool does the earlier style seals? I have a 2004 caddy bjb code 1.9tdi engine that has a crank position sensor on it...every tool I see for sale says 2006 and up! Thanks in advance 👌

Not a single video online shows you how to get to this point:) Trying to finds the steps to take the gearbox off, etc., 2001 audi tt quattro. Just spent 8 months rebuilding my engine, one seal left:)

I have a jetta mk5 5 rear main seal replaced but my car has a pinging noise will it be related to the rear main seal timing

Where did you buy the metal rear main seal from?

maybe you now where i can buy bearing where is in crankshaft for gearbox shaft

I have attempted to fit a new rear main oil seal to my Golf 2.0 tdi BKD engine using this tool but when I fit the tool to the engine the black pin does not line up with a hole in the crankshaft, what have I done wrong? Engine is at TDC locked with correct locking tools.

The is the best video ever seen. I have replaced head gasket. After that I couldn’t get started my engine VW PASSAT 2.0 since from last one month. When I watched this video. I did same has the man telling about crankshaft sensor ring After did everything in order my engine is running and working fine I would like to say thank you the all information you been gave to me Thanks for this video

I need marks on rear main seal polo c Assoc 2009

Just today I had to fix and remove a transmission of a 2014 Polo diesel 4 times . It won't start after changing that. I had to go to VW for help. They did!

An Excellent video. but can you please explain why do you need to tighten more? what if the space wasn't 0.5 mm (what will the engine be like after starting it)? i had the dealer change it for me, but i feel vibration in the engine and loss of power after repairing that seal. Rpm also decreases a little after switching ac on , and then regains its idle again.Any suggestions about the cause? it's a CAXA 1.4tsi engine 2010

Can you makes video how to remove it and what's best to use for. Thank you your help is much appreciated

Can you get to that front part of the engine to set up TDC without taking anything off?

So do you take that plastic installation sleeve out or does it go in?

Is this the same as a BLF 1.6 TFSI Audi a3 engine i want to know thanks

I replaced my transmission, clutch and rear main seal last weekend. Didn't know when the ring was for so I left it out 😂. It starts pretty rough but runs and drives fine. Looks like I'll be taking the transmission out again this weekend

Cheers Man most helpful

This here video is for them diesels. My new rear main seal doesn't have that part for the crank sensor. So I can just plop it onto my 1.8t petrol engine without worry of it being at TDC or not. That's quite reassuring. Also I think smearing on some RTV in them corners would be our best bet. Doing this on my audi this weekend.

Hi I have a vw amarok 2.0 l TDI vehicle does not start it was idling I pressed accelerator I went to 2000 revealed and cut off won't start I crank it no power coming to injectors what can be the problem

Hello I'm a mechanic and I have a car Golf 5 1.9tdi and I have a problem in the engine white smoke and concussion engine What is the problem please

Can we check crank sensor without fitting in car.

You are my guy. On point. Thanks.

You are my hero! realized i have to put the ring on in the right way but didn't find any usefull articles until i found this one :D I am gonna fit the seal tomorrow! :D

Thats a great video thank you. whats the part number or what engine code is that seal for? because I want a metal aluminium one. I don't want to replace it with a plastic one. very informative video

Two questions: 1: I have a 2012 2.0tdi A4 is the sensor shown in the video in the same place? 2: Is this at the rear of the engine?

Hello, please for help, before one month ago I have wash up the engine and after that come out error "Bank 1, camshaft position / crankshaft position sensor - incorrect assign" on diagnostic. I want to ask because the hole where the sensor is mounted is big so it is possible this ring with teeth can be displaced out of position in case water comes in this place? I can't see from video where is this ring fixed on the axis.

Came across a broken plastic crank seal housing as I was doing the oil sump replacement. means Ive to take the gearbox out as well as having a specialized tool :( effort.. no good throwing on the new oil pan without it shoveling oil from behind the sump. fml

Another good video Chitty, the new forum is crap as you sold its a few years ago, there are no TDI Wiki links which is the same as in your other video's

hi I have changed the seal in my 2007 vw caddy done everything by the book with all the right tools but when I put the hole lot back together and went to start engine it turns over and over but doesn't start can anyone help me please

Thanks from sharing.

Hello am having issues on pick up sensor on Blf golf5 fsi timing can someone help me out...

And a great video again :) Thank You!

In what way is it 0.5mm. Do you mean 0.5mm in further for the ring than the the seal or vice versa?

do you still have to take both the eninge and transmission out to get it done? is there a shortcut?

how can crankshaft be 180 degrees out? wtf?

Good video 👍

Sorry but for me that hole on speed sensor ring need to be at 12 oclock does not matter if cams are 180 or 360 cose your crank shaft hole marke will be at 12 oclock anyway, one turn for crank then cams on 180 second full turn for crank and cams 360 then your mark still will be at 12 oclock only thing is the ring need to be lined up with mark on case but when u buy new one comes with plastick line up guide. Please correct me if i am wrong

Hi is it possible to remove the engine speed sensor without taking the gearbox off thanks

Wow! I am Ishan Zaidi I'm your fan

Life saver 👍

I can confirm you need special tool for installation. I just eyed it up. Engine hard to start and revved poorly. Found a specialty hire shop. Now to do it again properly 🙄

Thank u very much

Thanks you

friend, I would like to know what kind of engine is your video? ¿ 2.0 liters , 1.8 liters ?

i notices you were on 0.6mm clearance how did you get it back to 0.5mm?

Shouldn’t matter if you’re at TDC on cyl 1 or not. Just if your timing marks are at “0”. It would be 360 degrees out if not at TDC which shouldn’t matter….. right? About to do mine and find out!

Is for Polo playa1.4 petrol engine

WHERE I CAN BUY THAT TOOL

What's mk6+

Show the whole job from start to finish for the diyer on limited income

Good

Polo playa crankshaft sensor position of 1.4

Wow, what an over engineered ridiculously over the top contraption to install such a flimsy piece of teflon in such a high pressure high importance location. WTF was VW thinking? Rube Goldberg design award submission?

How much does a job like this cost

Good lord vw. Why. .. ?

I am not going to say VW makes bad cars/engines but they just make them so complicated compared to old engines,it simpley scares me how VW designed this. On my car i need a screw + screwdriver and plier to get the seal ring out and plastic hammer to get the new sealring in....For me as a mechanic these cars would never be a first choise i like things simple and solid,and not complicated like this.

Whoa! Dealing VW/Audi engines takes a PhD! This is not the job for the SBC guy at Joe's Garage.

Average price to replace main rear seal in Passat 2.0t 2008

fuck...i just pulled mine off. Here we go...

Ive replaced lots of those without the tool. You just need to be careful. Also what a stupid design you cant just replace the seal you have to replace the whole set. Planned obsolescence

Lol! "DIY" Most DIY guys aren't going to have that tool.

.

Convoluted garbage. Good video though 👍🏻

I dont want to sound ungrateful but who will have this tool at there house

OMFG this is ridiculous..

i always said that VAG group are the most idiotic mechanical desing ever

Fuck!! I can replace it with a hammer on my both cars (completely different engines)!!! This tool is $226.91.......

Tool for the front main seal, tool for the rear main seal😂😂😂😂 Absolute waste of money, unless you are office rat who works on cars on weekends
