Review on 🔧 Fel-Pro BS 40187 Rear Main Seal Kit by John Vann

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pain in butt to install but I'm leak free!

I'm not sure if this is a Fel-Pro installation issue or just a 'fault' in the VW design, but it took almost half an hour to get the thing reinstalled had damage it. I would prefer if they do that spring seal under the rubber like they do on Japanese cars. I have no idea if this style of gasket would even be available for this car, but the rigid tapered construction of this rubber and fiber gasket was incredibly inflexible and difficult to install. At least it's not dripping.

Pros
  • Bearings and Seals
Cons
  • Hard to tell
