5000TQ Oil seal

[Denis]

I buy auto parts for long time and i now  know since long when i order a car
part with a number 30% chance it s not the right part, usually its almost
that but does not fit.

Soooo to avoid any problems, i prefer go to the part dealer with the old
part or with the size of the seal or bearing, i ll be never in mistake that
way.

For my 90 Audi some parts are not the same just by date they fabricated the
car. i return 3 time the front hub bearing cause the number tells me it s
the right part AND it s NOT, it does not fit... shit,,, the guys at the
service did not believe,,,, so i tell him ,,, ()&*?&?%$$/"/" bearing does
not fit, i remove mine mesure it and then go to the auto parts dealer to
get the RIGHT bearing.

I save energy time and patient with the size. ;-).

What the Audi dealer can   do (tell me a long story about i cant get the
sizes of ...) when he does not want to move his butt from his chair to get
part size (bearing and seal).How can i get a seal or bearing if the Audi
dealer does not have them stock and i have to wait couplle days to get them
( and 4 blocks from my home  i have a  bearing Dealer)(Audi Dealer in
another town)  ?

I make a little story to make my request important ;-) then
 I told him ,
    -get the part number
    - (move your **&?%$ butt) go to  the place you store the parts
    - read the number (size) on it (seal, bearing)
    -then give me that )((*&?%$?%/%?&&?    size.

You see,,, i finally got all size i need and  can get all seal and bearing i
need to finish the job on this weekend, unless i would have wait til next
week to get them at much more bucks $ and MAYBE mistaken number ;-).

I have good price from my local bearing dealer, i save 40% on parts,, wowowo
so makes some phone calls for the size make me save alot of nicee can bucks.

the size, but are seals the same way?
