The engine will benefit from a new pump's better efficiency & you will sleep better.

pre-07MY don't have the pump issue though...?06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!
But if I had a car with 125k on the clock I would change the oil pump regardless.

Within the years from 2004 to 2009 you can only check by removing the cam belt cover, I have had early 2009 models with the dodgy pumps fitted, some MY2008 did have the new style pump fitted from new, but not all.
It was thought at first that the MY2004 to MY2006 models were ok, but this has proved not to be the case.
