Hi all! Im normaly over on the s3 8l section but came on here as im looking to purchase in a couple months a b7 a4 avant tdi...

It will be used as my "daily" so this seemed the way to go...

Iv read a little about problems with oil pump shaft failures?

Just wondering what to look out for on these tdi's..!?

Going to be looking at ones under 100k millage, hopefully well maintained examples..

Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks limbo.
 
It's not just A4's that have this problem, could be any VAG TDI car. The key is what engine code you have. There are a couple of companies that specialise in repair and improvement of oil pumps, this is one of them http://www.ring-engineering.co.uk/vag-vw-audi-20-tdi-oil-pump-repair.html
Of course the majority of TDI's never have an issue for years and not much you can do apart from go to the expense of having the modded oil pump fitted, worth it if you are keeping the car long term.
