Flywheel O-Ring Seal - Type 1 Engines

Ensure your classic Volkswagen engine stays oil-tight with this replacement flywheel inner rubber seal, designed for all 1200cc–1600cc VW Type 1 air-cooled engines.

This small but critical seal sits inside the groove of the flywheel, forming an extra barrier between the crankshaft and flywheel hub. It prevents oil seepage along the crankshaft end, helping maintain correct crankcase pressure and protecting the clutch from oil contamination.

Whenever you replace your main crankshaft oil seal, it is strongly recommended to replace this flywheel seal at the same time. Worn or hardened seals are a common cause of persistent oil leaks on air-cooled engines.

Manufactured from high-quality, heat-resistant rubber, this reproduction part is engineered for a precise fit and long-lasting performance under the high temperatures and stresses found in classic VW engines.

Sold individually – one required per engine.
