Mercedes Benz Case Study 218: E200 Flywheel Oil Seal Replacement

Posted on by Revol Carz

If you’re noticing oil dripping near the back of the engine or gearbox, low oil levels, or a burning smell, a worn Flywheel Oil Seal—also known as the rear main seal—could be the cause. This crucial seal prevents engine oil from leaking where the crankshaft meets the flywheel or flexplate.

Because the seal is positioned deep between the engine and the gearbox, replacing it is a labour-intensive job that requires separating the transmission from the engine—making it a task best handled by trained professionals.

At Revol Carz Garage, our experienced Technicians accurately diagnose oil leaks and replace faulty Flywheel Oil Seals with precision—ensuring proper installation to prevent further oil loss or contamination. Don’t wait—book a professional inspection today to keep your engine protected and running smoothly.

The Owner of a Mercedes-Benz E200 sought assistance at Revol Carz Garage after noticing oil stains beneath the vehicle and the engine oil warning light illuminated on the dashboard.
Our Mercedes-Benz Expert promptly elevated the vehicle for a detailed inspection to accurately identify the source of the oil leak.
The inspection revealed that a worn Flywheel Oil Seal was causing the oil leak, leading to low oil levels and triggering the warning light.
Removing the Gearbox is the necessary first step in accessing and replacing the Flywheel Oil Seal.
To complete the replacement process, the Gearbox must be removed, disassembled, inspected, and thoroughly cleaned.
Installing a new Flywheel Oil Seal helps prevent oil leakage, protects the transmission from damage, and ensures the engine remains well-lubricated.
