Hey

Would the 170bhp 2006 be affected by this?

No

No

Thanks for the reply

care to elaborate on why not as the topic seems to say ALL 2.0 TDi up to 2009 are affected. What makes you convinced it's not?

Most 170 2006 are BMN

Furthermore the a4/a5/a6/a7/a8 engine mounting orientation differs from A3, there are MORE prone to failure

The BKD, AZV & BMN 2.0 engines (which is what found their way intothe 2.0 PD Octavia, A3, Golf, various Seats) used a chain driven oil pump very similar, but not identical, to the old 1.9 130hp PD engine.
