AUDI A5 REAR MAIN SEAL OIL LEAK EDMONTON (2.0T TSI/TFSI)
The Audi A5 2.0T coupe and convertible share the same rear main crankshaft seal oil leak as the A4 — a pattern failure on all EA888-equipped Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. Transmission removal is required, making this one of the most labour-intensive oil repairs on the A5. Auto Imports performs this repair in Edmonton.
The A5 Rear Main Seal Problem
- Oil drips between engine and transmission — visible on bellhousing or clutch housing
- Manual transmission A5: clutch contamination from oil — slipping clutch; both seal and clutch replacement recommended
- Automatic/S-Tronic A5: oil contamination of transmission input area
- Repair: transmission removal, seal replacement, flywheel inspection
— $1,500-$2,500 seal job alone
Combined Service Opportunity
With the transmission removed for the rear main seal, we inspect and optionally replace: dual mass flywheel, clutch (manual), rear transmission output seal. Doing these together saves significant future labour cost.
- Dual mass flywheel: $600-$1,200 parts — replace if worn or rattling
- Clutch kit (manual): $400-$800 parts — replace if oil-contaminated
- Up to 3-year / 60,000km warranty. Financing available OAC.
