HD Crank seal for 300tdi & 2.8TGV Made by MWM

Are you fed up with a leaking 300tdi crank seal? We have found a solution to the inferior design of the original 300tdi. This crank seal uses 2 extra fixing bolts at the bottom of the crank (6 o’clock position) to provide extra clamping load against the block forming a far better seal. These seals come from MWM in Brazil hence their cost| but they are known as the best upgrade to the 300tdi.

Please note this will require drilling and tapping of the 2 lower bolt holes to install onto a 300tdi- an easy job for an engineer| if in doubt please seek help from a professional to install! (Not Essential| can be fitted without using the 2 bottom holes on a 300tdi)

Installation: For the 2 extra bolt holes to be used in the bottom of the 300tdi Block| if desired| you will need to drill and tap the holes for an M6x16mm cap head bolt. For Sealing the crank seal to the block| we recommend using Victor Reinz RTV silicone in 1 long bead around the bolt holes| Joining the bead around each hole.

We realised that although the OEM crank seals were ok| many factory cars fitted with the 300tdi were leaking from the gasket face between the crank seal and block| hence we found this solution from MWM in brazil. (the manufacturer of the 2.8TGV international engine)

This crank seal includes and addition dust seal too| increasing its reliability over the original LUF100430 Crank seal

NOTE: ERR6811  gasket no longer required| use STC50550 sealant instead.
