Took the Avant in for the 30K service and was told that the tech found an oil leak around the cam adjustment seal. I've never heard of such an animal. Anybody know more about it?

Cam shaft seal is probably what he is talking about

m4rcus?

Thanks, is that a big job/deal?

Žob

Depends on you definition of a big deal. Typicall timing belt is removed

m4rcus?

no wonder the service writer didn't think it would be completed when he told me.

I wish I knew I would has liked to seen that.

seems that there is no gasket, just a little sealant to keep the oil in... Seems to be a fairly common problem on all recent Audi engines.

<i>Here is the exact verbage from the paperwork:

During inspection found cam adjuster seal leaking...
Removed bumper cover, loosen lock carrier, remove cams and adjuster. Removed and replaced cam adjuster seal reassembled. Vehicle operating to factory specs.

Part # 058-198-025-A Gasket set
Part # 059-198-217 Gasket set

Labor = 4.70 hours</i>

I'm not looking forward to my warranty expiring if this is a common problem. It would have cost my $352 in labor alone.
