[urq] gearbox leak

[Keith]

Pat, Jim
Thank you so much for you help. I love this list. I joined the quattro 
Owners Club (UK) in 1998, was an area organiser for 10 years and remain a 
member but have received more friendly assistance from the urq list than 
anywhere else during that time. I've given some too but I think I'm still in 
a deficit position! :-)
Today I (re-)discovered a coupe quattro gearbox in my garage that I had 
forgotten about so I will have a practice run at dismantling the tail end 
and replacing the oil seal before doing it for real on the WR.
Thanks again all.
Kind regards

Keith

'87 WR (Today in Worcestershire the weather is even more glorious than 
yesterday....)

Yes the p/n
For the oil seal nr 7 is *014409400AA
For the o-ring nr 9 *010325381A

The oil seal is bound to be a std metric oil seal , but it's dimensions are
not listed .
Audi price is abt 20€ , "normal" price in a parts shop will be about 5€ .
Oil seals are sold with 3 dimensions : eg 47/30/5 47 being the outer dial ,
30 the shaft dial and 5 the height .
If you buy one at a shop , ask for a double lip deal .
The large o-ring is 90*4.2 mm  audi price 9€ , shop price most likely half
an euro .

If my memory doesn't deceive me , you have to remove the 3 bolts nr 28 , and
then you can pull out the entire diff .
I don't rememer if the flange comes out without the diff or not .
The prop shaft flange is held by some circlips wich hads to be removed .
Then you can press the flange out of it's bearing granting you acces to the
oil seal .
Remove the old oils seal with a large screwdriver , it'll be destroyed in
the process .
the seal , not the screwdriver :)
Put gently tap or press in a new one , and make sure it sits dead straight .
Packt he space between the lips with grease .
And put it all back together again .


Good luck
Pat
