I just put the balance shafts back on my engine, which is out of the car. I'm not sure what you mean by the "thin plastic seal between the balance shaft and sleeve." Could you tell me which part number this is in the PET? I'm also not sure what exactly you mean by the "balance shaft sleeve". Do you mean the assembly that bolts to the front of the engine that supports the shaft at the front? I think you're referring to the pieces that go behind the wiper seals at the front of the balance shafts, but I want to be absolutely sure I get everything right. I replaced the front wiper seals not too long ago, and they weren't leaking even before I replaced them (about the only seals on the entire car that weren't leaking!), so I'm going to leave these alone. Thanks.

the almost invisible seal is 944 105 321 00 , with the sleeve i mean 928 105 139 02 if they have a wear mark on them (groove) from the seal 999 113 425 40 . you should replace them .
