So I took the old oil pump apart, its pretty worn/scored/pitted Out of interest would anyone have the tolerances for the oil pump? ?

So finally got around to sorting this been very busy with work for the past few months, the oil pump and the balance shaft cradle both have machined mating faces with no gaskets, I have also replaced the balance shaft with a kmb uprated version, and as you can see in the photos the oil pick up had a good amount of sealant clogging it up!!! So fingers crossed when it all goes back together , no low oil pressure warning , if it is still there it means the engine is badly worn which I just don't have the time to delve into.....

Hi it is an aftermarket part, gaskets don't seem to be listed anywhere for the oil pump that I can see, I will give audi parts dept a try and update with the outcome Thanks

Good morning, I will be replacing the balance shaft with the upgraded version, along with a new oil pump, I have received the new pump, but it hasn't come with any gaskets, I can't find a definitive answer on Google etc, would it need gaskets or is sealant used on the machined faces, any help is much appreciated Thanks Mike

So wee update on this, I also had a very rough idle which got worse when coming to a stop and felt like the car was trying to pull forward and a washing machine on spin, I have fitted new injectors and set the lash correctly, no more rough idle when coming to a stop and doesnt feel like its trying to pull forward now strange one🤷‍♂️

Hi Steve, I've scanned the codes but nothing stored in the ecu, so far.....

Revive an old one , but did you get this fixed as I'm having the same issue?
