I had the same problem at as you which only became apparent with the engine under high loading after I remapped it. I would ask them to keep your old camshaft so you can see the damage though  :happy2: Its generally the faulty cam follower which causes the wear to the camshaft lobe itself. When they removed mine the follower and cam lobe were both equally well worn. Had the DV done at the same time (which was split) and been running like a dream since  :smiley:
Can i ask what you paid to get it sorted.

I used an Indy in Exeter called Volkscraft. All in price including Camshaft (Rev B) cam follower, DV, Oil Change, Cambelt was around £640 - £650 if I remember rightly.

Should be picking my car up today, if they get it finished that is, I will let you guys know. I will be writing a letter to VW UK to see if I can get anything from them, doubt it but worth a try. I'm losing my love for VW's slowly but surely. German reliability my arse!  Has anyone got an address or email for VW UK Head office?

Post a photo of the cam 'end on' so we can see if it's 1 or 2 piece.

Part no. looks like an A which I thought had been changed by '07. Was yours built in '06 I wonder?
