2005 Golf 2.0 GT TDI oil chain problem advice please

[tazflecks]

I was just about to buy the above car but after some searching on this forum regarding the oil pump chain drive and talking to a local vw mechanic i am confused. The mechanic told me he has "done lots of these on Passats but dont ever remember seeing a golf with this problem". He then said he didnt think these engines were fitted to Golfs.The engine code in the car i am looking at is BKD and i have got the engine no and vin number. It was first registered Sept 05. Can some kind person please help me with this one

I've done a good few on Audi A4 and A6, but never had the problem on the A3 fitted with the same BKD engine as the golf. Never had the sump off to look, so cant be 100% but I would suspect the oil pump drive is different on the A3/Golf platform with BKD engines.

Hi Tame Technician. You obviously know your stuff so "not 100%" is good enough for me. Thanks for your help
