{"product_id":"rear-main-seal-retainer","title":"Rear Main Seal Retainer","description":"The Corteco 11141438274 is a genuine BMW set of covers designed as a direct replacement for various BMW models, primarily from the E46 chassis, spanning model years from 1997 to 2006. Also referred to as a Rear Main Seal or Rear Main Seal Retainer, this part is crucial for preventing oil leaks around the crankshaft exit point of the engine block. Its primary function is to maintain proper oil pressure within the engine, which is vital for lubrication and smooth operation.\n\nSymptoms of a failing crankshaft seal include visible oil leaks from the front or rear of the engine (near the crankshaft pulley or transmission area), a burning oil smell if oil contacts hot engine components, and potentially a check engine light if oil pressure drops significantly. This kit is recommended for replacement during clutch or transmission service to ensure a complete repair solution and prevent future issues.\n\nThis genuine BMW part is manufactured to stringent BMW standards and is backed by BMW's factory warranty. It is important to verify fitment for your specific vehicle's year, make, model, and submodel to ensure proper installation and performance.","brand":"BMW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687449817400,"sku":"11141438274","price":121.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/661669884.webp?v=1784884212","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/rear-main-seal-retainer","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
