    Hi,

    As above, my mechanic is surprised that the oil pump mechanism hasn't blown up yet. Says it's one of the highest mileage BLB engine Audi's he has ever seen still running on its original pump. It's still a great car and I have no intention of selling. Just wondering if there are other BLB owners going strong without the dreaded failure.

    Cheers

    Oil change every 12K miles from day 1.

    Edit: ignore the duplicate account I was registering with tapatalk and ended up re-registering.

    I have a 2005 A4 2.0TDI BLB engine which has 208k on the clock. I had the Balance shaft failure meaning oil pressure light. Had to get it fixed. If I were you I would change the balance shaft by buying a kit before it makes a hole in your pocket!

    Thanks Sinny. I intend to drive the car until failure of the oil pump and the ultimate scrapping of the motor. It does not make economic sense to invest in this preventative measure. The car is only worth about €3000 on the open market, that's assuming you are mad enough to purchase a car with a ticking time bomb inside.

    As you got the car used the work could have already been done. Also manual or Auto?
