We just recently purchased our '05 Passat Wagon TDI, and when we purchased it I had done a lot of reading on the Balance Shaft issue and saw that a rough idle when in Drive or Reverse with the brake on was a sign that the oil pump would need to get switched over to the gear driven system.
So we purchased all the parts and just had it all taken care of this last week. I picked up from the mechanics, started it up, and it felt AMAZINGLY good. Driving it home that night, there was not an issue in the world, felt like a TDI should. Since then however the vibration has returned and in some cases my wife says it has gotten worse than before the oil pump upgrade. So, I am wondering if anyone here as any ideas/thoughts as to what this could be.
I read that it excess vibration may be caused by the fuel filter needing to get changed so I JUST changed that, went easy no issues, but now i need to know if there is something else other than motor/tranny mounts that would cause the same strength in vibrations.
Thanks.
