Low Oil Pressure warning - Intermittent

[Gazwould]

Yes , whole oem 77mm module £1200+ still faulty .

Chain driven upgraded chain and tentioner using better quality parts £240+ but better to convert for £625 to aftermarket geared module as includes 100mm .

Chain to 100mm geared aftermarket remanufactured modified whole module £625+ .

Aftermarket remanufactured modified 100mm chain or geared balancer shaft kit £215 + .

+ labour any tools , sealant , oil change etc .

Thanks for all your help here, sorry if I'm asking stupid questions... but I'd never heard of a balancer shaft until I Googled "Audi A6 oil pressure"

Chances are then... I can get the 100mm kit that you provided a link to earlier and get my garage to install that on my existing gear driven module? Or as I'm having oil pressure issues is it likely to need the whole module replacing?

These balance shafts counter rotate at twice engine speed so the little key shaft has a hard time,you should have the geared set up already installed so its just a matter of a re- engineered shaft(just the one) with a longer key way (if it is no pressure).

@Gazwould, do you know where I can purchase the entire thing from? I think I might have my garage in a position where they are prepared to pay to have the whole assembly replaced, but I don't want them to fit the one that will still have the same problem again later!

By the sounds of what you've said, I can purchase (for around £625) a geared balancer shaft module, that will be compatible with my car, and will use the 100mm part...?

I've found this... Looks like the right part?

You do not need a whole module and best stick with well known British .

Kit 9 £215 .

[tmoram86]

Ideal, cheers. I'll suggest that kit to my garage then. I saw on that link for the whole article that they should check for damage to the main crankshaft bearing ... necessary you think?

[Gazwould]

Turbo is first to suffer damage .

[tmoram86]

So safe to work on the assumption that if the turbo is OK that it hasn't caused any fatal damage?

[Gazwould]

Probably if switched off early enough .

My father drove a few miles and I don't know how he got away with it , towards the end the turbo was consuming oil and required a new turbo so px'd .
