Does the 2006 Audi A6 TDI have the refined oil pump?

Would the 2006 Audi A6 2.0 TDI SE have the refined oil pump? I am thinking of buying one with high mileage because of my budget and I'm going to use it as a taxi. Obviously it's got to be reliable and being on the road 10-12 hours a day and doing up 30,000 miles a year.

There seem to have been three different drives to the oil pumps in these engines, only the latest of which is reliable. Quite a lot of confusion. I can't give you a definitive answer.
