Are oil pump drives for 2.0 TDI engines also affected, including those with a 100 mm drive shaft?

Hello everyone,

My A4 2.0 Pump Duse TDI received a new engine from Audi in 2012, which already had the new AGM with the 100mm coupling. Are there any known issues with this engine, or is it holding up well? The engine now has 260,000 kilometers (approximately 160,000 miles) on it. I'd be interested in taking a look at the Sechskant, but I'm hesitant about the effort involved with the A4.

Thank you very much for your experiences and insights.

Best regards,
Tobi.

Hello Tobi,

Regarding the extended oil pump drive shaft on the balance shaft module, I am not aware of any damage.

From what I know about the SGAF, I understand that there were also problems there.

Hi,

The fundamental problem remains. While the 100mm version lasts a bit longer, I've certainly repaired over 100 of those wave-shaped components already. And that's only thanks to local customers here in the countryside, without us actively promoting it in any way.

Can you tell me something about the mileage?

Based on my experience, it's not the mileage that matters, but rather the driving profile.

The following answer from Rüdi is exactly right.

However, the 100 series models are less likely to break down if they have mileage under 120,000-140,000 km.
I obviously don't know the mileage of any of them, or whether they've been replaced before, but from my experience, most of them tend to fail around the 200,000 km mark.
The previous models typically reached that point at around 150,000 km.

So, the shorter version lasted just over 200,000 km on my car.

The engine mechanic who provided me with a crankshaft with an extended drive shaft did not offer any parts specifically for engines with extended drive shafts.
I would simply say that because he couldn't make any money from it, this situation was rather rare.

Maybe check Autoscout for models with the CFFB engine. If there are many with over 300,000 km on the odometer, I wouldn't worry too much.

Best regards, Rainer.
