    Concerned about potential oil balance shaft failure...

    Thanks for the replies guys. My car currently has 72k miles on the clock and is running perfectly. I like yourself Dan, am just 'touching wood' that this continues. As you say there must be thousands of BLB engine codes that haven't suffered any problems what so ever. I am tempted to look into...

    I don't actually think they're the same ones to be honest mate. The ones I had fitted were definately more 'bowed' if you know what i mean. Here's another image of mine. Hope this helps, Cheers, Davie.

    help find these alloys please

    That's my old car! I bought them in Wheelbase Direct around a year ago but as you say, they may well have stopped making them now. What I liked about them was that they were more 'flared'( if you know what I mean.:think:) than the usual RS4 Reps, they weren't as flat faced. They were good...
