Meyle Highlights Importance of Quality Even for Small Parts

Meyle has added PTFE crankshaft sealing flanges for as many as 2,000 vehicle applications to its range of products. The company chose to highlight the crucial role that the quality of even small parts plays in the operational reliability of a vehicle. Irrespective of the size of a component, all Meyle parts provide users with the highest level of quality, thus saving motorists and workshop professionals a lot of trouble and money.

Sealing flanges play a key role in ensuring effective sealing at the engine crankshaft. They also capture the engine speed and crankshaft position, and help to determine both the injection and the ignition point which are controlled by the engine timing unit. Using parts of lower quality would lead to greater wear on the components and this will lead to oil loss, engine start issues, and odor emissions. This is why Meyle produces a range of plastic crankshaft sealing flanges made that are notable for their superior wear resistance.

Meyle has a diverse range of 16 different sealing flange modules which are designed to OE specifications to fit VAG models. They can be used for over 2,000 vehicle applications, including the VW Crafter and Audi models A1 to A6. The modules are ready-to-fit modules which are pre-assembled and come with a dynamic and a static seal as well as a trigger wheel. Repair workshops and their customers will definitely benefit from the outstanding quality of Meyle Original sealing flange modules.

For those who use these products, Meyle recommends that the sealing flange module be inspected and, replaced if needed during the regular clutch inspection which is generally due after 80,000 to 100,000 driven kilometers.
