VW Golf GT 2.0 TDI (140PS)

[gerson2k]

Hi,

I'm new to these forums, so apologies if this question has been asked before.

I'm looking at getting an 05 - 56 plated VW Golf GT 2.0 TDI 140. I've read that some Audi A4s and VW Passats having the the oil balancer shaft issue with the BLB engine. Can the knowledgable folk here confirm that the Golf GT TDI 140 uses the same engine? If so did it only affect the 2005/early 2006 model?

Thanks.

Golf/A3 have BKD engine not BRE. While I have never found what the difference is, I know we have only had the probelms with the BLB in the A4 and A6.

Watch out for ESP issues with Golfs of that age, that would be my big worry.
