It wasn't fixed in the B7. Some people claim the guides were upgraded a bit but they still fail. My issue right now is that I can't figure out whether cold temperatures will affect it by causing the oil check valve to stick open - the car's going to spend a fair number of days parked at Lake Louise in -20. I'm just hoping to get 50k out of it before I have to pony up. Knock on wood, but there's no sign of any issues with it yet.
B8 has a totally different engine thus no need to fix, but you don't get to have a V8 anymore so what's even the point.
