Malc 45 Posted January 25, 2015 Any one had issues with diff seals, just fitted a new gearbox with new diff seals, done this many times before with no issues, however I cannot get the drivers side to seal this time, replaced the new seal with another new one but still the same. Checked the seal is in square which it is. Was fine previously with the old box Anyone had this problem before, or any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j_turnell 134 3 Cars Posted January 25, 2015 Have you left the seal a couple of mm proud? If you knock the seal all the way in, flush, then they tend to leak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoodygoodwood 70 3 Cars Posted January 25, 2015 Have you painted your driveshaft , its possible that a drip of paint has found its way onto the sealing surface - I have found this before . Damage/corrosion to the sealing face ? I normally spin the driveshaft while cleaning the seal lip contact area with a piece of 2000 grit W+D to freshen it up .

Malc 45 Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah left the seal about 2mm proud also not painted the driveshaft, going to change the speedo housing as have a few spare, also try another seal and clean up the driveshaft, hopefully that does the job. Blooming strange as never had this issue before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Thomson 6 Posted January 26, 2015 I've recently been having weepy driveshaft seals issue after years of never having any problems at all. Thankfully my leaks aren't too bad. I blame crap re-con driveshafts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcc 855 Posted January 26, 2015 i doubt the shafts are at fault if they're clean. I would check your seals for manufacturing faults or defects. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j_turnell 134 3 Cars Posted January 27, 2015 Try replacing the large O ring that goes between the speedo housing and the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malc 45 Posted February 2, 2015 Now sealed, I ended up giving the driveshaft a light sand (2000 paper) and refitted an old seal, bingo. That's one leak fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ramigojag 19 1 Cars Posted April 8, 2015 Bit of a bump, but saves cluttering up the forum with loads of new threads. Does anyone have a part number for these two seals. I found them on service box, but then the number that gives does not tie up to the febi ones that come off the VIN from there catalogue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted April 8, 2015 There's a new part number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ramigojag 19 1 Cars Posted April 8, 2015 So the one on servicebox will be the newest one surely. The dimensions given by febi and Peugeot are so close I reckon they are the same and probably just febi haven't crossed it to the latest Peugeot number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
