Left or right ?

Post by moodybluetwo »

Hello all….I`m just about to order a diif/gearbox oil seal for my 2000 HDi 110. It’s the driver’s side seal…just pushes in…but when looking to order I have to choose left or right side. This depends on which way round I’m looking at the gearbox…any help would be appreciated.

The long driveshaft is described as RIGHT and the short, LEFT, so that has to be from the driver's perspective.

Also, the right hand diff oil seal is 32x50-10, (I/D x O/D - thickness), Left is 40x58-10, so you should be able to confirm that way too.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
