One of the best duo videos I’ve ever watched

This is by far the best explanation I have seen regarding the BSM delete. Question - does the Old tensioner get re-used at all or can it be scrapped? If the latter, how does the new tensioner for the ALH engine attach?

Respect from Slovakia! Gonna do this to my car to! ;)

hi.. great video VW Passat 2007 UK.. I had the oil pressure message twice in the last 8 month as I'm writing my local garage is trying to fix the fault by fitting 1.9 oil pump similar to this way in the video. I was told it is a common fault in all Passat and audi 2.0 litre engines.. great video..keep them coming

Thanks for the vid! I'm getting ready to install the delete kit on my wife's 2005 Passat with the BHW engine.

Great job of explaining. Thank you!

Deleting the balance shaft on the 2005 VW 2.0 TDI does vibrate a little more, but also makes more noise on acceleration. Just did mine yesterday, and there is a huge difference in engine sound at idle. The engine sounds so much better, like you know for sure it's running correctly. Upon acceleration to merge in the freeway though, is where you hear the biggest change. The engine produces more noise for sure. So far so good though. I also did the water pump, timing belt, tensioner and engine mounts, as mine had 290k miles on them and they were worn out. Will keep everyone posted on performance and sound.

We just got an 05 Passat with the BHW engine how hard is it do? I want to get the ALH delete kit and can you do it with engine in the car? If you had a shop do it what did it cost if you don’t mind me asking?

I own a 2006 2.0 TDI Audi A4 B7 the previous owner had the hex drive on a gear driven engine (not chain) fail, and sold the car as spares or repairs and I bought it with a repaired oil pump, plus new turbo and loads of other stuff. VAG has a massive issue with these and won’t admit it! Other than that it’s been a lovely car, pleasure to own and drive for the past year, but there are so many out there being sold as spares or repairs with blown engine- if you own one of these you are sitting on a ticking time bomb. I would get the hex shaft replaced every hundred thousand miles as part of a “service” ...trouble is that means sump off and a bit of expense....

As the hex key wears it begins to wear the oil pump as well. The estimated mileage for failure is 80-100k miles but replacing the hex key doesn’t mean you will get the same mileage out of it as the worn oil pump will wear the new hex key faster. My hex key failed at 99k miles (before I could arrange getting it checked/changed). Cost £125 to replace as nothing else was damaged. 50k miles it failed again and that time it took the pump and turbo with it. £180 for a new turbo core and £500 to have the damaged oil pumped modified to never fail again. I suspect the hex key has been secured into the balance shaft side so acts as if one piece. Currently dealing with a separate engine issue so transferring the modified oil pump onto a replacement engine.

But I can manage the repair just need some help and guid in with the right parts to get,and torque spec and may be some tips.your help will be highly appreciated.thanks by the way,merry xmas

Another good video Chitty the forum has gone to crap since you have sold it, as said the link doesn't work now

Fantastic video! Thank you!

Hi, I have a quick question, is it true that if the VAG low pressure oil tester is used instead of the sensor there's the risk of breaking the timing chain? I've had an incomplete diagnostic done at a VW service and the engineer stopped the mechanic in performing the operation, so I was unable to know if I had a failing oil pump or not.

Oil pressure issue on my mk1 Tiguan 5n1 2.0Tdi.. Changed the pump, pressure switch and still same issue. Opened up oil filter, started engine on no oil spilling out which brings me to this video thinking I have to remove all off again and check shafts. What a head ache, been off the road two months now, and working full time as Mot tester, dad to twin toddlers too I just don't have the time. So your recommendation to check shafts and key is the next step as mines gear driven on a 2008 model and chain and sprocket driven

Did that replacement in 2015. Still working fine on my audi 2005 2.0 tdi. Probably the best solution for these problems. Cheers !

Would you recommend doing it or not? I just had my turbo blow out, mechanic said right away that the problem was a lack of oil pressure and he was right. When we removed an oil sump we found that the pickup tube was half gunked up. We cleaned it and decided while the oil sump is out we should replace the hex key, crankshaft gear, tensioner and a chain. But here I am - 300km later oil pressure light came on and Im 100% sure its the problem with that oil pump again.

Hi great and detailed videos as usual, hope you and your loved ones are all well. I have a 1.9tdi European golf on a bxe engine, so registered in 2009' I know there are minor changes to the 1.9tdi in this last edition of the vag 1.9tdi's. What applies to my engine in this case? I have a hex bearing Shaft ready to fit to the oil pump, my car is currently on 106000 miles so overdue the Shaft bearing change. Are the oil Pan bolts on my car male or female torx heads? I can't find out that anywhere,? Thanks again for your videos.

I have a 2003 passat 1.8 gas engine with the oil pump not working. Is there a kit for this engine?

great idea!!! thanks!!

Don't DRY START the engine. Always change the oil filter first then buildup oil pressure using the starter with the injectors disabled or by starting then engine to bleed all the air out. Biggest wear on the engine happens every startup after changing oil and filter. That's the only time the engine makes several revolution without any oil pressure. When oil filter is removed the oil in the pickup tube drains back to the oil pan. Before oil pressure buildup air in the pickup tube and oil filter still needs to go out. Air can be compressed, tensioner will be jackhammering the chain & guide.

My chain has just broke on my seat ibiza 1.4tdi 2010 model. Fsh mint car. Just snapped then shredding the timing belt....wonder if they do a delete kit for the bms engine

As previous people said, I would warn you from doing this. I heard stories from my mechanic that people who did this delete, ended up with broken crankshafts after a longer period of time because the balance modules are there for a reason. The chain snapped in my 2005 A4 (BLB engine) last May, and the route I took was the following: I found a used balance module that was gear driven from factory, bought new gears for it + I converted the oil pump hexagon shaft to a thicker one. Yes, this was way more expensive than slapping on an 1.9 oil pump, but this way I have full peace of mind. I would even warn you from converting your chain driven module to a gear driven one, because the chain driven module doesn't have adequate oiling for the middle gear, and it will seize after time. Get a factory gear driven one, that's the only sure way. It worked well for me, almost 10 000 km since then, and 0 issues.

I live in Hungary and found this indie mechanic guy who is specialized in Audis. He had 3 used balance modules on the shelf in mint condition (he told me it's a fairly frequent part in need) and he said he doesn't sell them without converting them to a thicker shaft, so I didn't even had to ask for it. He also gave 3 brand new gears with it. The whole package plus a new aluminium crankshaft housing (the factory one was destroyed by the chain) set me back around €560.

I doubt it will cause any problems, the balance shafts only reduce secondary vibration, and this secondary vibration is really only existing at higher rpm, this is more for comfort and smoothness. Proof ? Only upmarket versions of the 2.0 tdi had a balance shaft. The golf does not have it, but the passat does. Everything cheaper than a golf does not have it.

Will the noise it makes change when the car engine speed changes, my car no matter if revving or not the sound stays the same it does not alter ?

I personally would not do this delete. It will greatly reduce the refinement of these diesel engines. Most in the UK, with these engines, who have fixed this problem have used a much better over engineered aftermarket solution from www.kmbpartsdirect.co.uk, which has proven to be a lifetime solution, and retains the balance shafts. There is another solution, similar, from Poland www.futurum.net.pl/galeria/. Although the design was bad in the first place, it was not helped by 'Longlife Service' intervals, recommended by VAG, since there are quite a few 200K+ mile 2.0TDI Audis and other similar engined VAG cars, still out there that have never had the pump changed, that presumably were lucky enough to have more regular oil and filter changes, throughout their lives. I would make sure you change the oil and filter in these cars every 6K or at the very least 10K miles.

Thank you, this is so informative! Recently got an '06 SEAT Altea FR, it's only at 65k miles but I know this will be a problem sooner or later and now I can keep my baby running for years hopefully. Does anyone know after how long in miles or years I can expect to start losing oil pressure?

If the automatic tensioner is broken. Does it ending up some of the tiny parts in the oil pump filter and cause a oil pressure? Just wondering, because when the mechanic clean the oilf pump filter and some of the plastic pieces witch I suppose is a bit from automatic tensioner is Blocking the oil and some other tiny sand metal pieces. And then when we pump the gas Pedro to 4-5000/rpm it give a little ticking sound in a short period, but only in high rpm. How much does is cost to change the tensioner and the labor time?

Obviously not really that important since only a very tiny percentage of 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder engine models from all manufacturers are equipped with balanced shafts. Usually in a lame attempt to make a 4 or 6 cylinder engine seem more like a V8 or other higher cylinder number, lower inherent vibration / more refined engines. And because they cheaped or copped out of using a boxer layout, which would have been the proper engineering solution for a lower vibration engine. Just like they cheaped out of using a gear drive instead of a chain drive for the balance shaft and oil pump module. And they cheap out of using all gear timing and others stuff.

Mines just went rounded hex key and ballance shaft
