Major A4LD Fluid LeaK....

Shrimp300 · Apr 27, 2007

My 93 is dumpin alot of tranny fluid between the dust shield and bellhousing. I had forgotten to plug in the EEC connection for the tranny when i replaced the rear main seal, before it was connected there was no leak. Once plugged in and the TQ clutch started engaging again the tranny started leaking like a siv.

Any possible ideas??

Im clueless about this one.

Most likely it's the front pump seal. The a4ld's are notorious for warping the mating surface with the front pump seal and leaking like crazy. In fact, the a4ld on my stang at the moment is doing the same thing. I'm swapping in a T5.

I'm not sure if the newly plugged in electrical connection would point towards something else being the problem...

i dont want to hijack but instead of starting a new thread, i'll ask here. which seal would be used on an '88 A4LD in a 2.3 lx 'stang?

For the front pump seal?

The front seal is the front pump seal Any autoparts store should have it.
