Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI PD any oil pump issues ?

Pondering on a '05 Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI PD with DSG. I know the turbos are not the strongest but that's OK, as it has been replaced previously @ 87k miles. But do these suffer from the well known oil pump issues. Unfortunately I don't have the engine code.

No they don't. The 2.0TDI as fitted to the Golf based cars doesn't have a balance shaft so doesn't suffer from the oil pump drive issues.
