Alternator pulley is bad
Hi, apologies if I missed it when searching this thread for "sprocket" but does anyone have a good reference for the steps listed above? Or at least confirm that you wanna heat the new sprocket to 450F and slide it all the way back on crankshaft with lettering facing out?No, follow the pdf for geared bsm change, then on the install section, just install the different crank sprocket, tensioner, and oil pump. Tap the oil feed hole for the bsm to 1/8" npt, put on windage tray, and then back to pdf.
Just did the BSM delete on mine. Yes, heat it to 450F or slightly higher and slide it all the way back with lettering facing out.Hi, apologies if I missed it when searching this thread for "sprocket" but does anyone have a good reference for the steps listed above?

Not hard if you have a good engine support. Hang the engine, then disconnect the subframe from the body and suspensionYeah, I'm looking at that one too! Actually have both printed so I can make notes as I go. My head is currently spinning on the subframe lowering to get the pan off. That seems the hardest part to me right now. Engine out would be pretty nice.
I've got an engine support and I'll add the jack under transmission.Not hard if you have a good engine support. Hang the engine, then disconnect the subframe from the body and suspension
I put a jack under the transmission to keep it from hanging.
The Audi a4 BLB engine is related to the Passat BHW, they use the same balance shaft module.Sorry if this has already been answered but are these the same parts needed for the audi a4 blb engine bsm delete?? Thanks.
thank you very much for the quick response! I dunno how in the world I can come up with a thread on accident a few times and now nothing, in reference to the tapping the oil passage when doing the bsm delete, WITHOUT DRILLING. As ive read plenty of people having trouble with clearance in drilling....I do have that link bookmarked and open in about 7 different tabs haha read through much of it. just need the tools and i will be on my way to doing it. I don't want to drive it a mile without a delete....
I need to worry about depth when tapping so i don't put a hole? I had thought people stated to tap extra deep to be sure. Still cant find the thread I want its driving me crazy, been stuck on this site for about 4 hrs now, you'd think I had my info by now haha....thank you though, I am very grateful for all responses.I drilled the hole open for the tap. I don't recall the size but it is a pipe (NPT) thread. Tap it short and check the plug a few times so you don't go too deep with the tap.
heres some of what i was mentioning....thank goodness just had to re read the thread loljust completed this bsm delete with perfect success.
vibration is minimal in my opinion on a auto car,
1/8npt tap fits the hole perfectly fyi, slow and steady tap all the through , no need to drill,
have yet to do any oil pressure tests, but the engine is quiet with no warning lights.
this swap out the door with timing belt and all the hoo ha $2200 retail.
big thanks to this thread!!!!!
