Hi,

I've just bought a 2005 A4 Avant with the wonderful BLB engine. Then I find out a bit more about them...

However, it has been well maintained, annual services, cam belt & waterpump just done before I bought it. It is running well, although I've found a bit of an oil leak under the cam belt cover

I'm now looking at pre-emptively replacing the chain driven oil pump, with a KMB oil pump kit 12.

Oil Pumps - KMB Parts Direct

I'd be grateful to hear any recommendations or otherwise for this kit or alternatives. Do they last?

However, my main question is to find a garage experienced in doing the job, as from all I read about heating sprockets and so forth, I am not keen on gambling with somebody who has not succeeded in doing it before.

Could anybody recommend a trusted, reasonably priced specialist, especially if they have experience?

I'm in West Sussex, but can easily go to East Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey, South London...

Many thanks in advance.
