Voyager 2.8 Balance Shaft

[nigelhobbs]

Hi everyone just joined up to the forum I'm looking at getting myself a grand voyager post 2005 so it will have stow and go seats. It's gota be a diesel. So 2.8d. Now what worries me is the engine has a balance shaft under the crank . I had a kia sedona the balance shaft drive gear stripped and stopped the oil pump ,engine destroyed in minutes on the motorway ,,, my mate had a VW went down with a simular problem Can anyone say if the problem exists on the chrysler engine I mean is there any known problem with the balance shaft drive and associated to the oil pump drive If there is problems I'm tempted to re think I had one on hire in Australia and loved it but I don't want to go buy a trouble engine
