Detailed Description

This Elring differential seal is specified for vehicles that require a 48.0 mm inside diameter and 74.0 mm outside diameter seal with a 12.6 mm height profile. The ACM construction is suited to driveline sealing applications, and the integrated dust lip adds an extra barrier at the shaft opening. Elring 871.060 is a direct-fit sealing component for maintaining differential housing integrity on many Audi A1, Audi A3, Audi TT, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Passat, and related models.

This part cross-references Volkswagen OE number 02J 409 528 C for the same application.

What This Seal Helps Address

• Differential fluid leakage at the seal interface
• Contamination entering the differential area through a worn dust lip
• Seepage caused by aged or hardened sealing material
• Noise or driveline concerns related to low fluid level from leakage
• Service replacement for worn OE-style differential seals

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft and housing dimensions before installation, including the 48.0 mm inside diameter and 74.0 mm outside diameter. Inspect the sealing surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion before fitting the new seal, and verify the differential opening is clean and dry. For best results, install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the dust lip and sealing edge.
