Crankshaft Rear Seal Flange Tool for VW Audi 1.4 1.6 16V

A crankshaft rear seal flange tool for selected VW, Audi, Skoda and Fiat 1.4 and 1.6 16V engines. It is used for removing and installing the rear main seal housing assembly where correct alignment matters, particularly because the housing also carries the crankshaft sensor mounting.

Used when renewing a faulty crankshaft oil seal assembly, this crankshaft tool suits engine work where the original seal housing needs to be removed and the replacement fitted accurately. It is relevant for vehicle servicing, engine repair and workshop maintenance on compatible VAG petrol engines, including BAG 1.6 direct injection applications. For garages and experienced repairers, it helps with a job that can be awkward without the proper engine-specific tooling.

Because the flywheel oil seal is integral with the housing and engine speed sensor, replacement is not simply a case of swapping a separate seal on its own. Correct positioning of the main seal housing and crankshaft sensor area is important during refit, and this remover and installer is made for that specific task. The engine-specific fitment helps reduce the chance of misalignment during installation, which is useful for repeat workshop use and careful servicing work where parts need to go back in square and correctly seated.
