Overview
The crankshaft rear retainer and oil seal is a critical engine component that prevents oil leakage from the rear of the crankshaft assembly. For Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles equipped with 3.0L V6 diesel powerplants—particularly Discovery 3 & 4, Range Rover L405, Range Rover Sport L494, and Jaguar XF / XJ / F-Pace—this OEM-specification part maintains engine sealing integrity under high operating temperatures and pressures inherent to modern diesel combustion.
This Partsmost unit is engineered to original equipment standards and carries dual certifications across Land Rover (LR036542, LR032930, 1316115) and Jaguar (C2S52379, C2S30238) part numbering. It's manufactured from precision-molded metal with an integrated elastomer oil seal, designed to achieve a perfect crush-fit against the crankshaft flange when properly installed.
Symptoms of a failing crankshaft rear seal include visible oil weeping around the bell housing, drips on the transmission tunnel, and low oil level warnings without visible external leaks. Replacement is straightforward for competent DIY technicians with basic engine knowledge and typically requires only transmission removal on most variants.

Installation Notes
Difficulty Level: Intermediate | Time Required: 3–5 hours
-
Prepare: Disconnect battery, drain engine oil, and remove transmission assembly according to manufacturer procedure.
-
Inspect: Examine crankshaft flange for scoring, corrosion, or surface damage. Clean thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
-
Remove Old Seal: Carefully extract the existing retainer using a bearing puller or appropriate lever tool. Protect crankshaft surface from damage.
-
Install New Retainer: Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the crankshaft flange. Press the new retainer onto the flange, ensuring it sits fully and evenly against the seating surface.
-
Verify Crush: The retainer should be seated with minimal axial play. Check crush specification in vehicle service manual (typically 0.5–1.0mm).
-
Reassemble: Reinstall transmission, refill oil to proper level, and bleed air from fuel system if necessary.
-
Test: Start engine and inspect for any leakage. Allow 5 minutes idle operation before driving.
Note: This is a precision component. If you are uncomfortable removing a transmission or lack proper tools (bearing puller, drift tools), professional installation is highly recommended. Incorrect seating will result in immediate oil leakage.
