My brother has a A4 avant with the above engine fitted
it has around 130k on the clock and he has offered me it fairly cheap!
I have read bits about oil pump failures and did warn him before he bought it but he went ahead anyway
I know you can buy parts to replace the oil pump and balance shaft etc
The car has always had a little shudder when driving at a certain revs and while sat stationary I am guessing this is all related!
What I am wondering is if its worth a punt on buying it off him and doing the oil pump myself or do I just stay away from it?
We have two cars in the house and I would use it 3 times a week to get to work which is a couple of miles away and for the odd tip run it would just be a banger and nothing more
Thoughts?
Thanks
Stu
