Obviously it's an Audi engine :-)

It's the 2 litre 5-cylinder in-line engine, code KW (I think).

Front or rear seal?

Front seal. What I'm really interested in is to know if the job can be done without special tools (seal extractors and the like).

Sure, but to help you we needed to know what seal on which engine.
As far as I can remember last time I did one (many year ago) I just prised it out carefully with a screwdriver.

No problem.
And presumably a socket of the same approximate size would be enough to bang the new seal in.

The old seals often particularly handy for protecting/lining up the new one & the socket.
