karmannski Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) HI all, I'm doing timing belt on my MK4 2.8 and thought it would be a good time to replace crank seal. As I can see bit of oil coming out behind the cover. Question. Once I have my belt removed and all 3 pins in, what is the safest/best option to undo this crank bolt?

0 gordy Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I'd be likely to slacken Bolt with pins withdrawn in case engine moves slightly. Lock up crank at flywheel end and don't use pin there as well. Its the flywheel end seal that causes oil mess. Odd oil drip at front of engine may not bother most of us.
