Consumer Description

CAM SHAFT AND LIFTER INFERIOR QUALITY!!WHAT HAS HAPPENED ACCORDING TO OTHER OWNERS OF TDI'S THAT I HAVE TALKED TO IS THAT THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS HAVE FAILED. THEY WERE BUILT INFERIOR AND BREAKDOWN. THIS CAUSES A LOT OF CONFUSION WITH MECHANICS TRYING FOR ENDLESS HOURS TO FIGURE OUT WHY ITS SMOKING. WITH A LOT OF RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THE CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS ARE INFERIOR AND BREAKDOWN. WHY DOES VOLKSWAGEN DO THAT TO PEOPLE, IT COST ME SO MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REPLACING TURBO, MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR TO REBUILDING THE ENGINE FOR GOD SAKE TO FIND THAT IT IS THE CAM AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. VOLKSWAGEN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. *TR
