Seal the front of the timing cover and keep engine oil in and contaminants out with the SKF Timing Cover Seal 12724. This front-position engine timing cover seal drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, including the 1989-2006 Volkswagen Jetta and 1990-2006 Volkswagen Golf. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.

The seal body stays stationary in its bore while the sealing lip rides against the rotating shaft:

  • Rigid metal case: a deep-drawn sheet-steel body forms a rigid, stress-resistant case.
  • Reliable fluid retention: garter springs made from cold-drawn steel wire provide superior fluid retention.
  • Contaminant defense: designed for superior protection against dirt and water.
  • Tested design: built with quality-tested design and materials for correct fit.

SKF has led shaft-seal design since inventing the first integrated shaft seal in 1928, using premium materials matched to the application and its environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SKF 12724?

It is a front timing cover seal that seals the shaft opening at the timing cover, keeping engine oil in and dirt and water out.

Does the seal rotate with the shaft?

No. The seal body stays stationary in its bore while its lip contacts the rotating shaft to maintain the seal.

What is the seal made of?

The body uses a deep-drawn sheet-steel case, and the garter springs are made from cold-drawn steel wire for strong fluid retention.

What are signs this seal may need replacing?

Oil seepage or drips at the front timing cover area can indicate a worn seal. Diagnose the source first, as other gaskets or seals can leak too.

Which vehicles does the 12724 fit?

It fits many vehicles, including the 1989-2006 Volkswagen Jetta and 1990-2006 Volkswagen Golf. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
