Quote from: vRStu on August 10, 2010, 10:29:08 pmThe earlier engines are more likely to suffer, as Carl said they revised the cam lobe for later cars.Done a bit of digging on this and info on almost all sites say axx isn't affected, it was only from 2006 onwards the problem started. I remember joegti had his checked recently and had no wear at all on a 2005 engine?!

Someone has mentioned above about cambelt change, do they replace this with the cambelt and water pump change? And for reference the latest from VW customer services which I have in writing is 4 years and 110k on the cambelt! Think the wind was behind them that day.

Might look into getting this done at somepoint then.
