Geoskoda

Thanks ApertureS. Would you recommend me then avoiding the Skoda mk3 in general?

Hi all, i am looking to buy a superb Mk3 diesel 2016+ however, I had Mk2 2009 which had an oil pump failure due to hex key wear at 110k miles. It is the BMP engine with gear driven balancing module. Apparently the oil pump was an issue on 2.0PD engines in Mk1 and 2. Sadly i discovered that way too late (while doing my research after the pump failure). The question is: has this problem been sorted on newer Skoda/VAG engines in Mk3 or am i going to repeat the same mistake again. Due to budget constraints, i will be probably buying a car with 100+ miles on it hence my concerns.
