Part number(s) help
 

Trying to locate the part numbers for the following but with little success so far.

2001 3.7 40V, engine code AKC front crankshaft oil seal.
2001 3.7 40V, engine code AKC cambelt.

Looking at etka you can no longer buy just the crank seal, but need to buy a whole assembly. I am sure though I could get the seal from an aftermarket source, but I need to know what the seal looks like at least and what the part number was.

For all a genuine seal will cost it might be best getting direct from Audi, then there shouldn't be any problems with the fit

I know it does not look like crankshaft seal i the picture but if you google part number it comes up as crankshaft seal.

Thanks, looks promising. When I get back from holiday I'll see if I can get one from Poole Audi, assuming the 8 hasn't bled me dry on the Costa Del Sol.
