    hi,as title I've recently purchased a 58 plate Passat (Dec 2008)the car is mint with full history.
    Mileage is 141k and I'm a bit concerned it could be on its original balance shaft and hex.
    How common is this fail. obviously there's horror stories online but there's 10,s of thousands of these out there and can't all have had shaft upgrades.
    I plan to remove the hex this week for inspection I've already ordered a 77mm & 100mm hex
    As not sure which one I suspect the shorter one.
    I may change to the updated shaft from Kmb in 2/3 months (Spring) but not now the hex change is temp for peace of mind.
    Anyone know of fails on these.thanks
