kop77

I'm pretty certain the balancer shaft has to replaced if your going from 77 to 100mm... you'll probably end up buying a kit online, There was a company selling them when my CBBB engine shat itself called KMB parts direct,

fair play Bazery... how much was the oil pump and hex key,

Hi numskull, the guy who put up this thread a while back has the CFGB engine and it has a hex key! https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/426709-oil-pump-in-170bhp-gear-driven-or-hex-key/ I messaged him yesterday and he confirmed he replaced it as it was badly worn at 80,000 miles, he said that he had the 'long hex key'... I'm guessing its 100mm long instead of 77mm which where known to fail from 100,000 miles onwards on the CBBB engine that was used on the early MK2 Superbs?

thanks for that... peace of mind and all that, from what I can gather the CFGB engine does have the hex key but must be more reliable than the BMP, CBBB engines listed on this attachment,

thanks jafo.... I should mention though that I'm only guessing the 2.0 CR (140bp or 170bp) engine that's in the MK2 Superb is the same as my old Passat CBBB

or... would I be better off with the 1.9 engine,,

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a 2010 Superb possibly a 2011 and I would like the 2.0 CR 170bp engine, I previously had 2009 VW Passat Sport 2.0 CR 170bp but the oil pump failed and toasted the engine so I was wondering if anyone knows when/if the hex key issue was resolved? many thanks,

Laois man myself... my '09 Passat was a 170 Sport with the CR engine, shat itself I'll put up a post in the owners section later on and vent my fury!

Hi all... I haven't bought my Skoda just yet but I'm looking at a 2010 Superb 2.0, I thought it best to do some homework this time after the oil pump failed and toasted the engine in my 2009 VW Passat 2.0 CR engine!!
