Drive seals

Post by Gapples » Thu Oct 05, 2023 1:20 pm

Hi

My 92 480 1.7 is due in for an mot next week

I was just checking oil levels etc and noticed the lhs drive shaft is slightly wet, a small oil weep.

Are these seals easy enough to get hold 🤔 I've had a quick search and couldn't see any, or are they the same as Renault it being a Renault unit ?

It's very little at the moment but I'm guessing it might be picked up as an advisory

Thank you

Exactly the same as Renault one, check the shaft size for the inner bearing though

Just wipe the drip off the day afore the MoT :D

They seem concerned if it is continuous not just 'damp', otherwise not a single UK built car from the 70's or 80's would pass :rofl:
