EA113 engine oil pump hack balance shaft cut out

[@ДенисОнофрей-д1ч]

Доброго, я просто разрезал малую шестерню на две части и валы остались без вращения.

Это тоже был мой план вначале, пытался срезать только шестерню, но было сложно не повредить всё вокруг (был только большой режущий диск), поэтому решил полностью срезать балансировочные валы и заглушить масляные каналы.

Nice video man. I was thinking of just cutting only the gear that drives the shaft. Would that be alright?

[@AudiDIY]

That was also my plan in the beginning, tried to cut off only the gear, but it was difficult to not butcher everything around (had only large cutting plate) so decided on cutting the balance shafts completely off and sealing off the oil channels.

@@AudiDIY alright, but the car drives perfect after that? No problems or power lose?

@@Lefa_Maeko28 Not a single issue noticed, drives well, had some concerns about possible more vibrations (after all deleted balance shafts) but nothing like that, no power lose, legend says that there even should be a bit more power but I haven't noticed any difference there. People change these problematic 2.0 oil pumps with previous generation pumps from 1.8T or 1.9d without balance shafts and no vibration issues there (except some say something about oil pressure issues). With this mod no issues so far (and I hope it will stay this way, will drive and observe).

@Lefa_Maeko28 sure, enjoy! Are you going to do it yourself? Let me know how did it go, smooth or any challenges on the way.
