Who was the revised balance shaft and key from ?

B4 and B6 can B4 and B6 can take - 40mm . I've got B4 ( they're slightly uprated anyway ) with Eibach Pro kit springs on a VAG running 17's and I wouldn't want any firmer !

Egr's their gaskets etc can fail and drip oil. For MOT only an issue if its visible.

Nightmare . Much more to contend with.... https://www.kmbpartsdirect.co.uk/shop/oil_pumps.html#kit12

3.0 TDI and exhaust is the only way to go .

S line are horrible suspension set ups around these years , trouble is Bilstein B4 is OE but slightly uprated , so a slightly uprated S line damper will be as you now know not good . B8 are even more uprated and harder and H&R springs lower again , good for different parts of the country . You...

Oil pump drive failure ?

Always best to say Kit as someone could follow suit .

Just a key ?

The hex shaft replacement isn't preventative maintenance as it's primarily a #2 balancer shaft keyway issue through poor fit of not being hexagonal , deep enough and hard enough , then there's the chain tensioner etc .

Maybe excessive engine and turbo wear to engine due to the oil pump drive previously being lost but just about saved .

Very similar to the JASO FC spec 2T 'white paper' hugely flawed when those in the know use mineral low ash FB spec ! I've got over a decade of smoke opacity MOT tests and the one year change point was 1.50 from every other or when I remembered to add . There is no other intervention or...

The oil industry is incredibly secretive because they want to have us over , there is no such thing as 'supermarket fuel'. I do hope you've taken care of your BRE and given it a modified remanufactured #2 balancer shaft with a longer 100mm drive key ?

Worth a few just like some other bits . Not monitored too closely as achieves very good mpg , even better than the Stuttgart and that's not bad either ! On the same G-Power...

I see we have an infidel ! I've got 10+ years of mot smoke opacity tests to tell me what works on a diesel . V Power is a con , no Cetane disclosure on the pump , add your own , much cheaper , JASO FB spec 2T , 2-EHN and the occasional Redex on a 186K Euro 3 . All means this.... The car...

The interval is bad but the oil is superior because it's a LongLife oil it also gets the top two oil basestocks groups real synthetics PAO and Esters , also the additive package concentration goes up so more of everything , anti oxidents , friction modifiers , detergents and dispersants etc.

With the 100mm drive key , what company ?

Changed for oem or modified remanufactured ?
