This is exactly the reason I will be throwing the whole balance shaft module in the bin and be fitting a stand alone oil pump with a new windage tray in the sump. Apparently the throttle response and power is marginally better taking this route too. AW Engineering supply a kit and when I last enqui...

its a 2006 and not sure on engine code, 2.0 Tdi 170 KS56 EFE, I will ring them soon and find out more, cheers matey.

great stuff, so either kit 8 or 9 on here: http://www.kmbpartsdirect.co.uk/oil_pumps.html depending on whether mine is chain or gear driven? I think its gear if I remember correctly, around 240 quid?

thank very much

KMBParts in Dronfield is a good place to get replacement parts for this if needed? Graham is very knowledgeable too

ok so had no choice to use the car for a very short half mile journey and the oil light came on. my gut feeling is the oil pump drive shaft could also be at fault here, it is getting plugged in on monday to see what codes come up but if the oil pump shaft is also knackered then it's going to be a ve...

hey guys, right, the missus is driving around in the Passat and the DPF light is on, the HEATING COIL light is flashing and it says ENGINE FAULT, GARAGE, what does this mean and should she stop straight away? No oil light and temp seems normal she said? whats to do? please help ASAP! thanks Bruce

its fiberglass not genuine so requires a bit or fettling to get to get to fit, but for that price its well worth it Id say! might have to get that on my list of wants lol

bigger wheels is right, I went from 16s with 55 profile, to 19s with 35 profile and the rolling radius was increased and the ride height of the car was raised by a whole inch. so the bigger the wheels the higher the car

or be different and go for votex high def front bumper and kit ....soo nice!

indeed, as above, had the chance to go cheap but my gut just wont let me, I aim to maintain the car as I bought it, high quality parts so will be eibach springs when i can afford them

needless to say I have cancelled buying the cheap set as my gut has always said that I don't want to do this car any dis justice, ie cheap parts, I bought the b6 in really good condition and don't want to let it slip by being cheap so will hold out for the above set up, in the mean time, its passat ...
