Been over 6 years for me with a KMB replacement.

**johnro79** · 28-07-2022,02:53 AM

I believe (and hope) ill only need New Oil Pump - 03L 115 105 D
WAUZZZ4G6EN078816 270k miles

Does it come with a 100 hex key too or that's only with the kits?

Balance shaft timing tool. If I'll just replace the pump, do I need this tool?

I also have my engine shaking at idle ...

Your car has the 100mm key, 03G 115 281 E. The pump is now 03L 115 105 F £276.77, I would use a Febi 34723

If you do end up replacing the balance shaft you will need the 8 balance shaft mounting bolts which are single use only (TTY)

As the balancer unit is seriously heavy I would not skimp and reuse the mounting bolts for the sake of 40 odd quid and would use new bolts. The ones holding the 2 halves of the balance unit are imo ok to reuse as the exact replacements and also the special shells / bushings inside the unit cannot be sourced from well, anywhere I know of in the UK. I do see refurbished balancer units with new shells online but have no idea where to source the new shells which have a cut out to match to the oil channels and are fairly small. I have seen a Polish video of a workshop refurbishing these balancer units and if anyone knows where to get the specific shells / bushings I would be eternally grateful, as I would like to renew mine whilst I am changing my main and rod bearings. I might just get a refurb u it for £350 but would prefer not to spend that much.
