V6 Oil seals and cambelt

Post by Reallyfree » Sat May 10, 2014 7:28 pm

About do a cambelt changed and noting the helpful advice here to get oil seals changed at same time. My friend and regular mechanic who has never let me down yet, has not done this job before on a Bongo, but happy to do the work but suggesting I get the oil seals from the forum shop. He will get the timing belt kit himself. Couple of questions:

1. Crankshaft oil seal. Mechanic said he could see it leaking and asked me to get from forum shop, although I can only see the V6 crank oil pump seal. I presume this is not the correct seal?

2. Cam oil seal. These are available in shop both left and right. Mechanic said I need 4 seals. Would these come as pairs?

The bongo shop refers to the crankshaft oil seal as ....a "Crank Oil Pump Seal"
