I'm glad you've caught it before it went, I advised all TDI owners about this here: https://www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/general-a2-servicing-information.23606/post-267826
For info I used this seal for the crankshaft, bonus being it comes with the installing shield. they do say you have to leave it 4hrs before turning the engine to allow it to shrink to the crank.

Don't underestimate how much grief this option may save you (did it work Steve?).
As soon as the crank oil seal housing comes off the engine the seal is scrap and difficult to replace without a VW fitting tool. I think I could possibly pull off fitting a new seal with the engine on a bench by carefully pushing it on but with the engine in the car it was impossible for me without the VW tool.
The tool is not cheap and the above looks like a good option.
How much effort to replace the clutch side seal? Engine out or does tool allow overall in situ?
Hi all,
I must also change oil pump chain on my ATL, but I have seen that there are two kits from Febi 32266 and 43667.
The latter has the gear wheel, crankshaft 40113 but it is impossible to find it. can you tell me where it is possible to buy it?
Would it really be necessary to replace it?
Lately I'm having several problems, now I have a very strong vibration between 1500 and 2000 rpm, especially when the engine is hot and even with the car stopped and accelerating. The car has 205000 km
Interesting I have purchased a Borsehung kit, B16296

Hi steve is yours the atl engine ..and is this issue more prone to that engine ..as I can’t see it being just this engine ? In which case all the 1.4 tdis may have this ? Ooh err .. all the years we have had a2s I’ve never come across this issue ,and when mentioning to my garage mate he hadn’t come across it either on the 1.4 eng ...or could this be a just rare event ..PaulHi all. Just had a complete oil pump chain tensioner and pulley change on my 2003 plate 1.4 tdi sport. The car engine wise is completely standard.
The cost for the parts
1x febi bilstein oil pump chain tensioner and pulley kit £142
6.5 hrs labour at my local vw/audi specialist £280.
They showed me removed parts.
Tensioner was in relatively good condition but chain showing signs of bad wear due to this
Are you saying that this mileage is when these cars needed the chain?Both of our 2001 AMF TDIs have needed the chain (280,000 miles and 164,000 miles)
Are you saying that this mileage is when these cars needed the chain?
How can you tell if and when they need the chain?
Hi thanks for info it sounds hit and miss !, last year I did the Cambelt & water pump on the old a2 at 109k now 118k so will leave it 4 years milage then will be about 160k when car will be due a belt again that will be the time to do chain kit ...in the meantime if I here a rattle or detect a difference in the two cars I will get it done as the low mile on is only 34k I will be able hopefully to detect any difference thanks for your input ...PAs far as I know unless you hear the chain rattle there is no way of telling. I have as per my post further up that you tend get a vibration at certain revs as if you have changed up to early. is the easiest way to describe it. I changed the 280,000 mile one after reading posts on here, it needed doing as you can imagine. I then needed to do the cambelt on the 164,000 mile car and changed it as I was there, it also needed doing so no way of telling by mileage. Both cars are much smoother now.
So is this another chain that needs to be replaced on top of the cambelt that Im already aware of?
So 16 year old Audi A2, 115k miles ... its due a cam belt which is £400. maybe a waterpump, and this also ??!
