2006 Volkswagen Gti - cam follower defect in October, 2010 I purchased a used 2006 Volkswagen Gti. After I bought the car, I took it to a vw mechanic to have it looked over. Everything looked good but he requested to inspect the cam follower as he knew there was a defect in its design that could cause major damage to the engine if not monitored. I had to pay him $75 in labor to remove the cam follower so that it could be inspected. It was fine. He mentioned it looked so new that it probably had been replaced. Anyways, he suggested that I have it inspected every time I have the oil changed otherwise I would risk up to $2,500 in repair costs to replace engine parts that could be damaged if the follower fails. I can’t believe there’s no recall for this? I have to pay an extra $75 every oil change to have this inspected due to the negligence of vw. I know that in newer Gti models they’ve redesigned the follower. This defect is dangerous as if the follower fails when driving on the highway and the engine seizes, a major accident could occur. Vw TSB #15 07 04.

Despite regular maintenance, the cam follower and cam of my vw 2. 0t fsi engine failed in under 40k miles. This resulted in fuel cuts and power drop offs. A very dangerous combination when merging onto a highway. These items were replaced under warranty, but would have cost me nearly $1400 to repair if they weren't covered.
