    Burned oil smell, rough idle, loss of low end power, sloshing water

    Maybe the timing is out... Check with another garage for 2nd opinion.. VCDs can tell you also i believe.. Agree with Alpesh - the water will be the bungs that need clearing and have filled with rain water

    B7 1.9 115bhp and B6 1.9 either 100/110/130 bhp.. Why ?

    I am wondering why there is a difference between the B6 and B7 1.9TDI with BHP Is it just a simple turbo swap to upgrade to 130bhp and could it be remapped up to 170bhp?

    2.0 TDI oil pump / balance shaft failure?

    Am i right in thinking that the dealer just did a bodge job or will the Hex shaft only last 50k? Even with the new 100mm one fitted will that only last 50k also? I dont mind getting this upgrade done, but every 50k sounds like madness....

    What to look for?

    I too have been looking at changing from my B6 to a B7 Looking to change to an Avant and thought of getting something newer than my 53 plate I hear/read the balance shaft is a problem right up to 2008 if im not wrong Not too many of the 1.9 kicking around either

    Im in the same boat... ( not getting rid of the dog ) Thinking of this Allside Dog Car Seat Cover Not the cheapest, but by far not the most expensive. Seems to be right for the job
