Sometimes the engine code is model/brand specific, although many engines can be identical across the VW group.

BPW double trouble as chain driven balancer shaft oil pump modual ( poorly tensioner ) and 77mm oil pump drive and balancer shaft keyway issue and your cause for it being seized ??

BRE , gear driven balancer shaft oil pump modual which is fine , still a flawed 77mm oil pump drive and its corosponding balancer shaft keyway issue .
