Hi all

looking for some advice, I’ve been looking at a few cars to buy and narrowed down to two cars a BMW 3 series 2010 but put off by the timing chain faults (been stung with a BMW timing chain in the past) and an Audi A4 2.0 TDI Avant 143 bhp model. Every time I search for common faults I’m drawn into the big and costly issue of the oil pump. I’ve researched this a little and think I understand the issue and why it’s caused but how do I know if the car I’m looking at is affected ? Or is it a case of ALL 2.0 TDI > 2005 are affected PD or CR ?

Supposed to to be leaving a deposit tomorrow morning - any advice would be greatly appreciated !

cheers all

Matt
