Elring Oil Seal - 852.560

The primary function is to prevent transmission fluid from leaking out of the transmission housing and to protect internal components from external contaminants.

You should verify that your vehicle's original equipment (OE) part number matches 02A 301 211 A or 04A 301 211, or check if your vehicle model is listed and confirm with a mechanic.

No, this specific seal is designed for the *outside transmission side*. It is not a universal seal and requires confirmation of correct application.

This Elring oil seal (852.560) is also cross-referenced with part numbers 02A301215A and 02A301215D.

Installation typically requires specialized tools and knowledge of transmission systems. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended to ensure proper fitment and function.

While specific materials are not detailed, Elring products are generally made from durable, high-quality rubber and metal composites designed for automotive sealing applications.

It is located on the *outside* of the transmission housing, typically where a rotating shaft (like a driveshaft) interfaces with the transmission casing.

Verify the seal was installed correctly and is seated flush. Check the shaft for damage or excessive wear. Ensure the correct seal was used for the application.

Double-check that the correct part number (852.560) was selected for your vehicle and that the mating surface is clean and undamaged. If unsure, consult a professional mechanic.

This could indicate issues with the shaft's surface finish, excessive shaft runout, or incorrect installation. Internal transmission problems could also lead to abnormal pressures affecting the seal.
