Replacing Crankshaft seal

Just popped up on Youtube Here

In german but I have seen some of her other videos and she does like to work on the A2.

Shows the benefit of getting the A2 in the air to do work - otherwise this would certainly be a job where the front of the car needs to come off.

Her method of holding the flywheel still whilst tightening the flywheel bolts is neat.

I've not seen any of her videos before. Although she speaks unusually fast, her German is clear and fairly accentless. I doubt I'm the only one who finds her quite attractive. ?

I watched her replace a clutch on an A2. I may have eyed up her sandblasting cabinet and vehicle lift.

Just recently done this job on a MK2 golf; remarkably similar. Very good video, a couple of minor things that weren't mentioned:

When degreasing also degrease the sealing surface on the crank end. The seal has to be fitted dry.

A crank hold tool on the front of the crank and an assistant avoids the need to make a flywheel (or is it pressure plate?) hold tool when torquing the securing bolts.
