This Elring 023.631 crankshaft shaft seal is designed for vehicle owners and mechanics seeking a reliable replacement part. Its key benefit is ensuring a secure seal for the crankshaft, preventing oil leaks and maintaining engine lubrication. A key consideration is the need to verify exact vehicle fitment and measurements before purchase. The seal features OE-quality standards, specific dimensions (37mm inner, 50mm outer, 6mm height), and is made from durable FPM material with a right-hand twist swirl type.

'OE-quality' indicates that the seal is manufactured to meet or exceed the standards set by the original equipment manufacturer for the vehicles it is designed for, ensuring comparable performance and fit.
The swirl type (in this case, right-hand twist) is designed to help pump oil back into the engine, assisting the sealing function and preventing oil from escaping past the seal lip.
FPM (Fluoroelastomer) is a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to high temperatures, oils, fuels, and many chemicals, making it ideal for demanding engine applications.
You must check your vehicle's make, model, year, and engine size against the compatibility list provided. Additionally, measure the dimensions of your old seal (inner diameter, outer diameter, height) and compare them to the specifications of the Elring 023.631 seal (37mm inner, 50mm outer, 6mm height).
Installation typically requires specialized tools and significant engine disassembly. While possible for experienced DIY mechanics, it is often recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the installation to ensure it is done correctly and to avoid damage.
Common causes include age and material degradation, excessive heat, damage during installation, high crankcase pressure, or wear on the crankshaft surface the seal contacts.
Verify the seal was correctly seated and not damaged during installation. Ensure the crankshaft surface it seals against is smooth and free of nicks. Re-check compatibility and measurements.
Ensure the correct seal is being used for the application. Cleanliness of the mounting surface is critical. Use a proper seal driver tool to install the seal straight and avoid damaging the lip.
Check engine oil levels and quality. Excessive crankcase pressure or extremely high operating temperatures can degrade seals over time. Ensure the correct FPM material seal was used for the application's environmental demands.
Compatibility: This seal is compatible with specific Ford FOCUS III Turnier, Ford FOCUS II Station Wagon, and Land Rover RANGE ROVER EVOQUE models. Crucially, always verify your vehicle's specific year, model, and engine specifications against the listed compatibility and compare the seal's measurements (Inner Diameter: 37mm, Outer Diameter: 50mm, Height: 6mm) with the part you are replacing.
Setup: Installation of a crankshaft shaft seal typically requires significant mechanical disassembly of the engine area surrounding the crankshaft. This often involves removing the crankshaft pulley, timing belt/chain, and potentially engine mounts. It is a procedure best performed by experienced mechanics using appropriate tools to avoid damaging the seal or surrounding components. Ensure the sealing surfaces on the crankshaft and engine block are clean and free of burrs before installation. A light coat of clean engine oil on the seal's lip can aid in installation and initial sealing.
Care: Once installed, the seal requires no specific user maintenance. Its longevity depends on correct installation and the overall health of the engine's lubrication system. Regular oil changes with the recommended oil type for your vehicle will help preserve the seal's integrity.
