—OE-style camshaft oil seal for select and other gasoline engines. Helps prevent leaks and maintains engine lubrication pressure.
$19.60
The 04E 103 085AC camshaft oil seal creates a tight barrier at the end of the camshaft. It keeps engine oil inside the cylinder head while the camshaft rotates during operation. Consequently, it maintains the necessary oil pressure for top-end lubrication and prevents external leaks.
Manufacturers build this seal using heat-resistant materials that withstand the intense temperatures of the engine bay. Furthermore, the precision-engineered design ensures a factory-style fit on compatible Volkswagen and Audi engines.
Camshaft seals endure constant friction and heat cycles. Over time, the rubber material can dry out or crack. Once the seal loses its flexibility, oil may begin to seep past the lip.
An active camshaft oil leak can contaminate the timing belt or other drive components. Because oil can cause rubber belts to swell or deteriorate, a failing seal often leads to more extensive repairs. Replacing a leaking 04E 103 085AC seal promptly protects your timing system and helps keep the engine bay clean.
Inspect your engine for these symptoms of a failing camshaft seal:
Visible oil residue behind the camshaft pulley or gears.
Significant oil accumulation at the front or rear of the cylinder head.
Evidence of engine oil on the timing belt or drive belt.
A drop in engine oil levels between regular service intervals.
Burning oil smells originating from the engine compartment.
Oil dripping onto the ground after the vehicle is parked.
OE Part Number: 04E 103 085 AC
Function: Seals the end of the camshaft to prevent oil loss.
Material: Durable, heat-resistant elastomer for long-term sealing.
Fitment Type: Direct-fit replacement for factory camshaft seals.
Service Benefit: Protects timing components from oil contamination.
Application: Used on several modern Volkswagen and Audi gasoline engines.
Always verify fitment by VIN before ordering. Replacing a camshaft seal often requires removing the timing belt or camshaft drive gear. Therefore, many technicians choose to replace this seal during a scheduled timing belt service.
Always verify fitment by VIN before ordering.
