Product description
In the case of swing axles, the gearbox oil also lubricates the rear wheel bearings. In itself this is a good system, the wheel bearings do not dry out quickly. It also has a downside, because if the rear axle seal were to leak, the gearbox oil would be thrown into the brake drum, fouling the brake shoes and causing poor braking performance.
But don't worry, Volkswagen has taken precautions in this regard by installing an oil deflector in the brake drum. This collects the oil and drains it away, so that the brake linings cannot be contaminated by the gearbox oil.
In later years, this system was overhauled and the bearing cover was modified. In case of oil leakage, the oil is drained through the anchor plate and not into the brake drum, which made it possible to eliminate the oil deflector.
It often happens that the oil deflector in the brake drum for older years is no longer present, excessive corrosion led to the fact that the oil deflector could no longer be mounted.
Preserve the safety of your brake system and reinstall the oil deflector in the brake drum. If the rear axle seal should leak, this will have no negative effect on braking performance.
Note: On most Volkswagens the brake drums have been replaced by a reproduction at some point in the past, chances are that these brake drums do not have a through-hole. Here it is necessary to drill a through hole, without one, the oil crank cannot be mounted.
