CORTECO 49117032 16x24x6.5 ACM BASLX7 Transmission Rotary Shaft Seal

CORTECO 49117032 16x24x6.5 ACM BASLX7 Transmission Rotary Shaft Seal

CORTECO 49117032 is a BASLX7 rotary shaft seal for a manual transmission shaft, measuring 16x24x6.5 mm. The seal is manufactured from ACM – Polyacrylate Rubber and features an additional dust lip.

Its exact combination of 49117032 + BASLX7 + ACM + 16x24x6.5 mm is important when selecting a replacement, because dimensions alone do not fully define the construction and material of a rotary shaft seal.

CORTECO 49117032 dimensions

The dimensions of this rotary shaft seal are:

The international dimensional notation is:

16x24x6.5 mm

This means a 16 mm shaft diameter, 24 mm outside diameter and 6.5 mm seal width.

BASLX7 seal design

The exact CORTECO construction designation for this reference is:

BASLX7

An important confirmed feature of this design is an additional dust lip.

The additional lip provides an extra barrier on the external side of the sealing system, helping to restrict contaminants from reaching the primary sealing area.

For this reason, a standard 16x24x6.5 mm oil seal should not automatically be considered equivalent to CORTECO 49117032.

The BASLX7 construction must also be considered.

ACM – Polyacrylate Rubber

CORTECO 49117032 is manufactured from:

ACM – Polyacrylate Rubber

This material specification is important because rotary shaft seals with identical dimensions may be manufactured from different elastomers.

The correct identification of this product is therefore:

CORTECO 49117032 – 16x24x6.5 mm – ACM – BASLX7

rather than simply:

16x24x6.5 oil seal

The seal material should always be considered when evaluating an alternative because different elastomers have different operating characteristics and media compatibility.

Manual transmission shaft seal

CORTECO 49117032 is catalogued as a:

shaft seal for manual transmission

It may also be searched internationally using terms such as:

manual transmission shaft seal
transmission oil seal
gearbox shaft seal
gearbox oil seal
rotary shaft seal 16x24x6.5

These terms describe the application while CORTECO 49117032 remains the primary product identifier.

CORTECO 49117032 OE numbers

Catalogue cross-references associate CORTECO 49117032 with VAG OE numbers:

012301457
012301457A
012301457C

These references are associated with brands including:

AUDI
Volkswagen / VW
SEAT
SKODA

OE numbers are particularly valuable when identifying a transmission seal because dimensional compatibility alone does not confirm that the seal is correct for a particular gearbox.

Applications in VAG vehicles

Catalogue fitment data associate CORTECO 49117032 with selected vehicles from AUDI, Volkswagen, SEAT and SKODA.

Indexed applications include selected versions from vehicle families such as:

AUDI 80
AUDI 100
AUDI 200
AUDI A4
AUDI A5
AUDI A6
AUDI A8
AUDI Allroad
AUDI Cabriolet
AUDI Coupe
AUDI V8
Volkswagen Passat
Volkswagen Phaeton
SKODA Superb
SEAT Exeo

This does not mean that CORTECO 49117032 fits every version of these vehicles.

Different transmissions and seal variants may be installed depending on model year, engine, gearbox and vehicle configuration. Fitment should therefore be verified against the OE reference, transmission specification and preferably the vehicle VIN.

CORTECO 49117032 and VAG 012301457

Customers may search for the same transmission seal using either the CORTECO aftermarket reference or the original equipment number.

Important identification combinations include:

CORTECO 49117032 – 012301457

CORTECO 49117032 – 012301457A

CORTECO 49117032 – 012301457C

These references provide a more precise method of identifying the seal than dimensions alone.

Why 16x24x6.5 mm alone is not enough

There can be multiple rotary shaft seals with the same nominal dimensions but different:

• elastomer materials,
• lip arrangements,
• dust protection,
• external constructions,
• sealing geometries,
• intended operating conditions.

For CORTECO 49117032, the important identification set is:

49117032 + 16x24x6.5 mm + ACM + BASLX7

Therefore, another seal measuring 16x24x6.5 mm should not automatically be considered interchangeable.

Selecting an equivalent for CORTECO 49117032

When selecting a replacement, verify:

1. CORTECO reference 49117032,
2. OE reference 012301457, 012301457A or 012301457C,
3. inside diameter 16 mm,
4. outside diameter 24 mm,
5. width 6.5 mm,
6. ACM material,
7. BASLX7 construction,
8. additional dust lip,
9. installation position within the transmission,
10. compatibility with the specific gearbox and vehicle.

Matching dimensions alone do not establish full interchangeability.

Material, sealing-lip geometry and the application must also correspond.

Common search variations
