Any b8 tdi's suffered balance shaft failure's?.....What mileage has yours done?

[vw754]

After reading alot of this on the B7 and people posting on different forums that the early B8 tdi's also suffer......im just curious to know if any B8 owners have been unlucky enough to have this failure.....and at what mileage?

And who's B8 has got the highest mileage ????

Mileage/year ?

I know of two failures on the B8 2.0tdi units, one was a 2008 model and the other was a 2009.

I have a B7 and have been on the case of the oil pump/balance shaft failures for three years.
There are very, very few cases of this issue in the B8 ( I only know of two) so I wouldn't worry and I would keep the car.
