- Introduction
One important factor to consider when choosing spark plugs for your MK7 GTI is the heat range. The heat range of a spark plug refers to its ability to dissipate heat away from the tip of the spark plug. Choosing the right heat range for your MK7 GTI is important to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the spark plugs.
- Regular maintenance of the distributor oil seal is important to ensure the proper functioning of the engine. In addition to replacing the seal when necessary, it is also important to inspect the seal for any signs of wear or damage during routine maintenance checks. Keeping the oil seal in good condition will help prevent oil leaks and preserve the engine's performance.
Oil leak: the most frequent failure of the oil seal
- In conclusion, spark plug sets represent a significant advancement in the field of automotive technology. By providing superior performance, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced durability, these systems have become an essential component of modern vehicles. As we move towards a future powered by cleaner, more sustainable energy sources, the importance of spark plug sets will only continue to grow.
- When replacing a spark plug coil, it is essential to use a high-quality replacement part that is compatible with the make and model of the vehicle. This will ensure proper function and performance. It is also recommended to replace all spark plug coils at the same time to prevent future issues and ensure uniform performance.
ERIKS type M (type B according to the DIN standard) has a single metal casing and rubber sealing lip. Since the casing is made of metal, it must be fitted in a well-finished, undamaged groove. Large volumes of oil seals with metal casings are often cheaper, which is why they are often used as original equipment in machines. However, if an oil seal has to be replaced, types with a rubber exterior (type R or RST) are easier to fit. Type MST is similar to M and commonly used. The difference is the dust lip in the MST oil seal that prevents dust and dirt reaching the sealing lip, and extends its service life in dusty environments.
Main lip - 3. Low compression set High temperature rubber gaskets have low compression set, which ensures that they maintain their shape and seal effectively over time.
- Steering Oil Seal: Steering oil seals are integral to the functionality of the vehicle's steering system, containing the lubricating oil within the steering mechanism to prevent leaks and maintain the smooth operation of the steering components. These seals contribute to the proper functioning and longevity of the steering system, ensuring precise and responsive vehicle control.
- Type B: An outer metal case generally used on shafts with diameters under 150mm and bore housing materials made of steel or cast iron. It provides a firm and accurate seal in the housing but may limit the static sealing on the outer diameter (O.D.).

The oil seal gets its structural stability from an interior metal ring which serves as an inner skeleton. The outer skin is made of a more flexible material like nitrile rubber or other materials based on the physical environment of the seal. A spring on the lip of the seal supports the lip and keeps the lubricant from leaking. The lip construction is what blocks contaminants from outside.
In order for the sealing property of the oil seal you selected to really shine, attention needs to be paid to how it is handled.
In the event of seal failure, it is necessary to take effective countermeasures.
