Hi Fellow B5.5 TDI friends, I am looking for a BSM module for my 05 BHW Passat TDI wagon. My oil pump chain has started rattling pretty loud at 97k miles, and I need to get it upgraded. The shop I am working with near Seattle, WA has said it will take 3 weeks to get the BSM kit. :confused:

HELP!!

Does anyone have a BSM kit that I can purchase and have shipped to the Seattle area? If so, I will be eternally grateful! Otherwise, I think I'll need to rent a car for the next 3 weeks because I'm afraid to drive it. :(

Thanks! If you can help, please call my cell at 253-278-7344.

Boraparts has the kit. Shouldn't take more than a week to get it.

EDIT: Oops- looks like I was mistaken :(

A howto for changing the balance shaft can be found here. Note page 22 with regards to intermediate gear to avoid a costly mistake!</B>

Note: As of 2 February 2012 these are on a worldwide backorder. None in North America or Europe. Expected restock is mid March. In the meantime we do have a vendor that has a couple in stock, though the price is much higher. IF you absolutely must have one now we still can get 2 as of 7 Feb. Please call us for availability. Otherwise all orders will be processed in the order they are received. Thanks for your understanding.

Hope you get them Whitbread - got a call today that Germany isn't sending any as they are out too. Literally had 5 calls today on BS kits. My dealer is #1 to receive the restock, 10 kits coming in, 7 are presold as of today. Might get one beforehand as a D2D, but it's spoken for.

Before we ran out we had inquiries from Germany, England, Ireland, etc...this is a very big backorder.

For the really desperate there are still 2 shortblocks in North America. You can guess how I know that, yesterday there were three...

Good luck,
-BB

There are just too many to list....
LOL... and VOA says there is no problem with these.... LMAO... what a flippin' joke.

I only have one here on the shelf, and it is already spoken for. I may have to alert our scheduling to this shortage. This has happened before, but there was only about a month or so shortage.

Boy how can VW be is so denial that the rainfall of need is now apparent with these units piling on the miles. All I can say is wow and I am sure glad I had mine done at 57k.

Anybody care to guess how many of these modules have been put into service ever since OH and Mo discovered these?

it was destined to happen as they are considered old at this point. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up a short block if you are like me and have a core. 800 more gets you a short block. the short blocks will probably get scarce as well. we've seen the transmissions become scarce before this happened. now that this shortage has occurred, everyone that is procrastinating will want to do the conversion right away

Awesome!!! Thanks Pete, you are my new hero for the week! (my hero worship only lasts a week, but it is powerful - make one wish and I will hope like hell it comes true)

I was able to get in touch with your parts guy this morning and my BSM is on the way from Florida to Washington State where it will be installed next week at Zahntech in Redmond, WA.

After listening to the engine this week, my 5 star mechanic Matthew at Zahntech recommended I not drive the car until the BSM kit is installed - I had noticed the engine sound changed in the past week. I rented a car this morning and will be driving it until my beloved Passat wagon is unchained next week.

Thank you again for tip about the BSM kit available at Gunther VW of Coconut Creek, Florida. I am in your debt.

Pete, whats your price on the short block? there is a 1000 core charge, so its impractical for those without a core.

All Tdi Club members can get 20% off list price on parts. To order parts online visit our website at www.gunthervw.net , order parts from the service and parts tab. At the end of the check out write TDI-CLUB in the coupon box . The 20% discount will be subtracted from the total. Write your Tdi Club user name in the comments box. Once your user name is verified your order will be processed.
Price is listed on their website at $2,381, so with your TDI Club 20% discount it would be about $1,900. Seems like a very good price and no core charge. See:

Lol - I'd like to see 20% off on a short block.....Not everything dealers have that kind of margin to work with. Should be two in Fort Worth right now....

Anyway, back to a previous question of how many are sold - we're averaging 200 a year right now over the last 3 years.

BB is correct. The margin on engines is not that large. Actual list on a short block is about $2600. We can sell it for $2300. There is a $1000 core charge so the shipping alone would be more than the discount.We do have two short blocks in stock.

Pete, perhaps your Internet folks should correct the $0.00 core charge so people aren't mislead. And again, thank you for letting me know about the available BSM kit, it will arrive on Monday and I will be able to get my Passat fixed/unchained.
