Elring 169.650 Seal Ring

The Elring 169.650 Seal Ring is a high‑performance crankshaft oil seal designed for modern automotive engines. It provides reliable protection against oil leakage, ensuring optimal engine lubrication and longevity.

Key Features

• Dimensions: 70 mm × 86 mm × 7 mm – a standard size that fits most compact and mid‑size engines.
• Material Composition: PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) core with FPM (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) outer layer, offering excellent chemical resistance and low friction.
• Design: Dual‑layer construction delivers superior sealing performance while maintaining flexibility under varying temperature ranges.
• Compatibility: Engine models from Dacia, Nissan, Peugeot, Proton, and Renault – including popular variants such as the Clio, Kangoo, Logan, and DS series.
• Installation: Straightforward replacement of the rear crankshaft oil seal; requires removal of the engine cover and a new mounting sleeve.
• Durability: Designed to withstand high pressure, temperature fluctuations, and continuous oil flow without degradation.

Material Advantages

The combination of PTFE and FPM is chosen for its exceptional performance in automotive applications. PTFE provides low friction and excellent resistance to hydrocarbons, while FPM adds durability against high temperatures and mechanical wear. Together they ensure:

• Minimal oil seepage even under extreme operating conditions.
• Extended service life compared to single‑material seals.
• Resistance to cracking or hardening over time.

Applications Across Vehicle Brands

The Elring 169.650 Seal Ring is engineered for a wide range of vehicles, making it a versatile choice for mechanics and automotive enthusiasts alike:

• Dacia: Logan, Sandero, Kubistar – models from 2011‑2012.
• Nissan: Cubistar, Micra IV, various engine sizes.
• Peugeot: 206 Hatchback, 308, and other compact cars.
• Proton: Popular models in Southeast Asia.
• Renault: Clio II/III/IV, Kangoo I/II, Twingo I, Dacia‑derived variants.

Installation Guide

1. Disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access to the crankshaft.
2. Remove the engine cover and locate the rear oil seal.
3. Use a seal puller or suitable tool to extract the old seal without damaging the crankshaft surface.
4. Clean the area with a solvent to eliminate residual oil and debris.
