This guide is for vehicle owners and mechanics needing a reliable crankshaft shaft seal. The key benefit is its OE-quality construction ensuring proper engine sealing and preventing oil leaks. A crucial caveat is the need to verify fitment and measurements against specific vehicle specifications before purchase, as variations exist. This BERU Shaft Seal, part number 586.676, is designed for precise fitment and durable performance, featuring an inner diameter of 48mm, an outer diameter of 65mm, and a height of 10mm, constructed from FPM (fluoride rubber) with a dust cover and right-hand twist.

This refers to the specific type and construction of the radial shaft seal, indicating its design characteristics. 'A' typically denotes a single-lip seal, and 'BS' relates to the overall construction and application suitability.
FPM (Fluoride Rubber) is a high-performance synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to high temperatures, oils, fuels, and many chemicals. It is ideal for engine crankshaft seals where exposure to these elements is constant.
The dust lip acts as an additional barrier on the outer side of the seal, preventing dirt, dust, and other abrasive contaminants from entering the engine compartment and damaging the crankshaft or the sealing surface.
You must check your vehicle's exact engine type and specifications against the compatibility list provided. Pay close attention to the 'IMPORTANT: Check measurements & dimensions' notes, and compare the seal's inner diameter (48mm), outer diameter (65mm), and height (10mm) with your existing or required seal.
This indicates the direction the seal's lip is designed to function against a right-hand rotating shaft. It ensures optimal sealing performance when installed on a crankshaft that spins clockwise when viewed from the front of the engine.
Installation requires specialized tools and mechanical expertise. If you are not experienced with engine internal repairs, it is strongly recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the installation to ensure proper fit and function.
Re-verify compatibility and ensure the seal was installed correctly. Check for damage to the crankshaft snout or the seal itself during installation. Ensure the correct seal orientation and lubrication were used.
Confirm that the correct part number (586.676) was ordered and that it matches the exact specifications of the original seal. Double-check vehicle compatibility notes for specific measurement requirements.
Ensure the engine is operating within normal temperature ranges and that the correct type and level of engine oil are maintained. Extreme operating conditions or contaminants can affect seal life.
Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify that this part is compatible with your specific vehicle. Check the 'Vehicle Compatibility' list against your car's make, model, year, type, variant, and engine specifications. Pay close attention to any notes regarding measurements and dimensions, as variations can exist even within the same model. The part number is 586.676, with an Inner Diameter of 48mm, Outer Diameter of 65mm, and Height of 10mm.
Installation: Installation of a crankshaft shaft seal typically requires advanced mechanical knowledge and specific tools. The engine may need to be partially disassembled, including the removal of pulleys and possibly the timing belt or chain. It is recommended to have this part installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper fitment and function. Ensure the crankshaft snout and seal housing are clean and free of debris before installation. Lubricate the seal lip lightly with engine oil before fitting.
Care: Once installed, shaft seals require no regular maintenance. Their lifespan depends on the quality of installation and the operating conditions of the engine. Regular oil changes with the correct grade of oil and maintaining proper engine temperature are essential for the longevity of all engine components, including the shaft seal.
