Sump off today to replace crank seals
#1
Hi,

I had the sump off today and I was surprised at how clean it was inside.

This is the 340k miles car I've got.

The GTI6 I did the seals on last year was all discoloured and the hockey seal were hard like plastic were as the seals in this were still soft.

I thought the the hockey seals were going to be worse but they don't seem bad.

I didn't realise the bearing cap bolts were stretch bolts on these. I take it that means I need to replace with new and I can't (shouldn't) reuse them? They were a right pain to undo, so tight, even with a breaker bar.
