Thanks for posting this, balance shafts seized on my 2008 EOS and snaped the bolt on the balance shaft gear, was getting low oil pressure on display when reaching normal operating temp. Followed your steps and working great. Got new bolts from dealer and runing great not getting the low pressure message. Only diffrence I did was pressed the balance shafts out from the other half and just bolted it on the engine. Thanks this video saved me a lot of money I subscribed

Glad the worked for you bud , you will notice you car revs faster

This is the best method , and here is why , I did just the gear delete and at high rpm my balance shafts walked from vibration and started to hit the crank . Now 2nd time I use this method cut my balance shaft off the pump , it runs perfect and no problems .

The only thing that worried me is a tap on that drill, lol! Thanks man, overall great concept, seems as if though it's similar to what iabed does but you cut instead of adding plugs. This would be perfect if you could adapt the 1.8t baffle or other to fit, as you said, for cornering for those interested. Great job.

Genius. Great method 👍🎉

Gran trabajo hermano 👏

you are a genious! never mind about others. you have a brain and you know how to use it. i subscribed!

It's amazing how much you know, never stop doing what you're doing. I took my engine apart but I can't get it back together now LOL I just joking😂

Wonder if this would be the same for the newer tdi

Great Idea! I would maybe bolt up the the other half, to keep the windage under control back there, I think of the crank spinning 4K rpm out in the open back there open to all of the oil draining back down, it might cause aeration in the oil? Just a thought.

The crank doesn’t sink in the oil so it hardly touches to create air bubbles Also the oil drain doesn’t drain directly on top of crankshaft.

Salute buddy. Thank you so much

Will i have to put another chain in if the sprocket has already popped out slightly or would i just delete the shaft and reattach the chain to the guide like you showed in the video ?

Muy buen trabajo😊😊😊😊😊😊

I put a used one on two year ago and now I have oil pressure problems again and a high pitch whining from the bottom end , so I'm gonna do this hopefully it works

good detail, although it seems you don't do much video for mk5? all i see are mk4 and older lol. i like mk5 its lots of room, previous gen a little smaller but weight is less haha

Pretty decent mod to avoid the catastrophic failure of the balance shaft / engine. Is this balance shaft mod on this TSI the same approach you would use on the 2.0 BHW TDI found in the B5 Passat?

If is the same balance shaft it can be done yes just need to know the oil ports to plug

the shafts seize, then no oil pressure i think, and ur engine is toast@@pakkiaman2

Just curious what is the oil pressure like does it make it higher or lower ? If its higher would keeping one of those holes open drop it a little ?

@taco8v

5 ай бұрын

Oil pressure doesn’t change its the same and you cannot leave a open hole it will be a oil leak dropping the oil pressure not sending oil to the head and a big boom will happen

Could you weld the holes shut rather than use bolts and loctite to seal them?

Does this work for the low oil pressure error? Or is a new oil pump required

Chasing tail on oil pressure light new 63000km engine it put light on our shop I took back thay replaced sensor got back same thing within the drive home I took sump off was full of silicone cleaned that still low oil pressure but then other day got 2hours driving no light I'm stumped chain looks tight sprocket in place balance shaft is tight bought oil pressure gauge from fb but it electric if it is Correct it's reading no oil pressure but the gauge could be faulty it makes no ugly sounds is turned off immediately when alarm goes

it can be bacause of chain tensioner there is a little filter that gets clogged and it cant get pressure in it,so change the hole chain assembly on the camshaft and if you oil pump is fine then everything should be good to go

I'll be doing this very soon I'll show you the best way to do it there are many videos also to show you

Lets see it , I think you want to use the 1.8t oil pump which i all ready done it . Not one has done it like me by cutting the balance shaft , utilizing the existing oil pump and paying not money for parts Lets see what is best than $0 cost I think you missing the part where it says 0 cost lol

@@taco8v no mate what you have done is going to cause you problems with oil getting to the head and circulating properly. You use the oil pump everything from the 2.0tfsi still you cut x1 cog that's it inside and that stops the balance shaft movement. That pan is there for a reason

If you refer to the bafle plastic cover the goes under crankshaft and oil pump , older cars doesn’t have it , and they go along just fine , that bafle cover only applies if you racing is when the oil gets into the head but that doesn’t cause problems, its more lubrication to the head lol but seriously i have done this a couple times and has caused 0 problems Infact in all the cases has increased the power and acceleration.
