BlobbyBrown Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Having changed the clutch (see other thread), looks like I've either damaged or exacerbated a leak on the RHS Diff Driveshaft seal. The Green Sleeve that I think is part 084301192, around the flange - Is that independent of the oil seal. I've order the seal but it didn't have the sleeve attached and looks like the green sleeve is now obselete and like hen's teeth to get hold of. Just thinking am I going to have a problem changing the seal on it's own or should I be able to remove the oil seal remove the sleeve, fit new seal and refit existing green sleeve as it provides no real purpose?!

BlobbyBrown Posted April 22 Author Report Share Posted April 22 For those looking at this; I changed out the oil seal at the weekend. The oil seal sits at the front of the green sleeve so if the sleeve is excessively damaged then you will most likely need a new sleeve. You can remove the oil seal without removing the green sleeve. Mine [the sleeve] was damaged but managed to refit with a new seal; hopefully no more leaks, but we'll have to monitor as the outer edge of the oil seal was showing in places. I did order a new sleeve for a POLO from the US but it doesn't arrive until June! (now April), so hoping it all holds out until at least then.
