Below is a listing of two Front Crank Seals, one for a 2.1L and one for a
Syncro (which has a 2.1L).  My question is will either of them work in a 87
Syncro and if yes, what is the difference between the two besides the large
difference in price?  Thanks

      1.  Front Crank Seal, Vanagon 2.1L 83-91   025 105 247A

      2. Front crank seal, Vanagon syncro 86-91     025 105 248A
