The sixth generation of the well-known Passat model and the comparable Skoda Superb 2 were equipped with the 2.0-liter Volkswagen BMP 2.0 TDI diesel engine, which was manufactured between 2005 and 2010. The fast wear of the oil pump hexagon is a common issue with this diesel engine.
BKD, BKP, BMM, BMP, BMR, BPW, BRE, and BRT are also included in the EA188-2.0 series.

Disadvantages of the VW BMP engine
The oil pump hex problem is the most well-known engine issue.
Unit-injectors have a resource of about 250,000 kilometers, and replacing them is highly costly.
Specialized forums also frequently discuss oil consumption up to one liter per 1000 kilometers.
A jammed turbine geometry is typically the cause of engine thrust failures.
A dirty particulate filter could also be the cause of a diesel engine’s unstable operation.
