iABED Industries EA888 Billet Aluminum Rear Main Seal Upgrade

iABED Industries EA888 Billet Aluminum Rear Main Seal Upgrade

iABED Industries has developed an upgraded solution to permanently fix your rear main seal.

The most common cause of rear main seal failure is a faulty PCV valve. The TSI engine is known to have PCV valve failures, which will cause an excess of crankcase pressure. This is more pressure than the rear main seal can handle. PCV issues can surface with multiple symptoms or virtually none at all.

The factory stamped unit uses a flimsy and very thin rubber surface to seal around the crankshaft. The crank is constantly spinning inside this seal, so over time as heat cycles are put through the engine, the rubber will expand and contract and become brittle, especially when it is constantly saturated with oil. iABED’s replacement solution uses a patented billet machined plate that is bored to a larger diameter so that a Viton rubber seal can be used. The Viton seal is more heat resistant, fluid resistant, and more than twice as thick.

Fitment: 2009-2025 EA888 2.0TSI and 1.8TSI engines.
