cam wear on a 2006 A3 2litre TFSI?

[cheeky_chops]

Hi all

gf has a 2006 A3 2 litre TFSI - couple of weeks ago it developed a erratic idle, then the EML came on while driving. I thought it sounded a bit like a tractor since ive known her (a few months) and is "ticking" while running.

The garage have said there is a issue with the cam "shoulders" and they are worn, repair bill is £1500! She bought the car new, has FSH, belt changed in 2011 and only done 70k miles so not happy!

Any immediate thoughts? Google shows up some issue relating to the high pressure fuel pump driven off the cam...

VR6, spot on - i found link below earlier. The work has just been finished at mates rates but still not far off 4 figures i believe. Havent seen the bill but list of parts inc 3 cam followers that were trashed, fuel pump, new chain plus other bits.

I will suggest a letter to audi esp if the USA recall is 10 years/120k!! May get some good will for the parts. Wont hold our breath....
