Title: and to pile on..... Post by: vwboomer on June 13, 2009, 05:11:28 PM to my radiator woes...I took the radiator off so I can take it to a shop and noticed what looked like diarrhea under my counter sprocket.
Pulled the cover off and found a little piece of rubber that looks suspiciously like it might be the seal for the front sprocket [bang] How bads it leakin? I dunno. But I do know 2 weeks ago when I put the new slave cyl on there was no leak. Is this a simple matter of yanking the sprocket and replacing the seal or is this a split the cases type deal? Title: Re: and to pile on..... Post by: ducpainter on June 13, 2009, 05:45:23 PM The countershaft seal can be changed without splitting the cases...
but are you sure it's not the dust boot for the slave? Title: Re: and to pile on..... Post by: vwboomer on June 13, 2009, 06:18:44 PM There was no oil around the new slave. I cleaned up the case around the sprocket so we'll see. I did crank seals on my VW often enough it shouldn't be a problem if it's a leaker, just wanted to make sure it was an outside in job
