Cheers, is it possible, should the hex key need changing just to change that rather than buying and installing the whole kit 9?
There were so few people that participated it wasn't worth showing the results. I've forgotten my log in details so couldn't even go back to look now. If I manage to fluke my password I'll come back to youHi there, I can see this is written quite some time ago but did you ever show the results to your survey? I would be interested to see.
Thanks
I am not a mechanic matey but I have been told it's fairly easy to drop sump off but it's subframe off too and have been told it needs to be put back right otherwise it will affect tracking etc etc ,This sounds better news than most of what I've read, can I just drop the sump a swap the shafts over, do you know if the sump is easy to take off or does it involve engine mounts and moving lots of stuff out of the way?
Thanks muchly for the advice, it is very appreciated.
Its wrong for the a4 anyway,I wonder where you got that from !

Hi, I have just done that balancer shaft upgrade on a 2007 Audi a6 3.0 tdi at 105k and the oil pump drive was already worn out, it would not have taken any more than 10k to fail.So I've just bought an '06 B7 2.0 TDi BLB. It's only done 69K from new with full (non Audi) dealer history. The engine's dead quiet on it and it all sounds. good. I wondered if anyone had a conclusion on what should be done to safeguard the engine from this rubbish.
By the way, I have a licenced copy of ETKA here with working VIN number lookup and when you go into the page for the oil pump / balancer, ETK A flashes a warning to us to convert from chain to cog driven balancer shaft......
Yep defo 200% buy the kit for piece of mind m8Hi guys, been reading through this thread and a couple others on several sites. I can't figure out if I should be worried or not.
I have a 56 A4, with the 2.0tdi BRE engine, it has done 85k miles with okay service history (6 Longlife stamps, toothed belt at 60k).
I can't hear any unwanted noises from the engine, but I wouldn't know because this is my first diesel it always sounds noisy.
Should I be worried/start saving for a replacement/repair bill? Is there a way to check that doesn't cost much money.
Thanks.
