mines BRE and gear driven 06 plate, I totally repaired mine and its been fine going on a year now (not the same failure type but same repair)

I have been finding my BRD engine suffers power loss when coasting around 2-3000 revs especially after sitting in the sun and when warming up. I cleaned the injectors but no change. I recently started to get the coil light appear on the dash and fault codes for sensor errors I did a quick test...

KABOOOOM! http://www.justanswer.com/uk-car/627p6-vw-passat-tdi-2005-engine-code-bkphow-shaft-oil-pump.html http://pics.tdiclub.com/data/3419/BHW_Balance_Shaft_Module_Replacement.pdf Page 25 of the last one the torque should be much more than 20Nm! hope that helps!

Ive just fixed mine after a year of no a/c NEW SWITCH - CORRODED OLD ONE SECOND HAND PUMP - CLUTCH COUPLING FAILED NEW CONDENSER - LEAKING there are a lot of different switches out there and up to £50 some tips: don't thread the switch on without supporting the condenser port with a spanner...

no work done before failure just raced it around a lot, the gears failed so while I was down there I uprated the balance shaft. I fitted a new idler and helical spur gear, it was assembled hard in mesh and has gone well since the repair. in a way im lucky no more damage was done

wow, triggers broom comes to mind!! I haven't done it yet so will check out that idler, the a/c pulley is slack though. top tip thanks

haha....your pet hate! of course not I did the full monty courtesy of KMB parts direct Sheffield. I took the sump off ready to do the conversion after the car broke down but found the gears had failed, absolute nightmare! the car has gone 12,000 miles since at a good pace and its a great ride!

has anyone had the gears fail....after 8 months since fixing mine it seems its quite rare? guess im just lucky :mad:

sorry to resurrect and oldie but here to help!

yeah the standard silicon seal is white so it should be as the factory left it! its a simple tool that locks the balance shafts in place while fitting...

well, I did mine myself, dropped the subframe, A/C Pipes and the sump which has two badly placed bolts behind the flywheel to remove. you may want to remove the front bumper assembly so you can see and correctly mesh the idler gear if re-using it. or buy a new one for about £40 and assemble it...

someone did a study of the failed pumps and found the balance shaft hexagonal keyway bore was running off centre by 0.1mm to the pump so it accelerated the wear on the hex key. some must be more concentric than others, motor way use would definitely be a positive factor though. who knows what...

I bought my A4 in June and have done: Tandem pump changed (oil in fuel) clutch and flywheel, oil pump upgrade with KMB parts direct balancer shaft and hex (oil pump gears failed) coil over suspension (modification) the cross bolts needed drilling out each side corroded in tight!! tints...

I just cleaned out the lift pump filter of my 2.0 tdi, I had a caterpillar and a layer of crap on the filter gauze, I think it goes better now, but I would after seeing that!!! I had no chance of getting the retainer ring off without a special tool from Bergen :)

no problem ps I also had a leak at the bottom of the condenser, its holding pressure now.....I sprayed leak detection fluid all over the pipework joints until I saw the bubbles. good luck with your fix Henrik

my sensor was open circuit, cant wait to fit the new one and get A/C back on!! corroded to f*#k

here is my faulty sensor and quite possibly the problem (sarcasm) :blush: you can take it off without losing refrigerant as there is a valve that it connects to

so quick question then....what the hell are the viewing slots for on the gearbox!!!! there is a metal gasket between each face half way through the slot so its a case of look at the 2 sump bolts but you have no chance of getting them out!!!!!!! arrrrggggg gearbox off!!!

cheers Darren I had the car for 3 weeks and it was either do it on a budget with the chance terminal damage was done and it was wasted money or have open wallet surgery from a garage with the chance the engine was 'compromised' I have read some terrible stories, still gutted I had to take the...

feels like in 5 years time the oil pump upgraders will be the only ones driving the B6/B7 Audi, the rest will be on the scrap heap. best thing ive ****** in sometime....a steel gear! cheers Pete ps really recommend KMB parts direct for the uprated balancer unit (refurb) next day delivery and...
