#1: Driveshaft Oil Seal Author: Jakey_206, Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2015 2:51 pm ---- As titled we are having some issues with the Passenger Side driveshaft on a 1.4 8V 206 with an MA gearbox.
The issue started with a leaking oil seal, so we replaced the oil seals to hopefully resolve this; however, now it seems the driveshaft is not in all the way (even though its in as far as it'll go!) and the oil seal is not sealing the box and is leaking considerable amounts of oil.
Any help/advice would be great!

#4: Re: Driveshaft Oil Seal Author: Jakey_206, Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2015 3:47 pm ---- Driveshafts are the same. Never had this problem on removal and re-fitting before.

Happened to me (didnt go as far as filling the box though), just a bit of faffing about with the driveshafts, dont forget to lube the shafts before entry
