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.

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.
