I have an 2.0T automatic and the car has 37,000 miles on it and it went to the dealer for a "check engine" problem. The dealer is now replacing the Camshaft. They stated that is not a common problem, but they have seen this before on this yr and model. Has anyone else had this problem? I cant believe that this problem occured in a car with 37,000 miles.

Once the dealer replaces this part, should there be any difference in performance?

Search cam lobe issue or high pressure fuel pump and cam lobe.

More than likely the cam lobe that drives the high pressure fuel pump has been scored/machined by the fuel pump lifter. Usuallly means new fuel pump and cam.

The cam wear issue is actually a very common problem. There is a technical Service Bulletin for it. It replaces the cam and the cam follower for the fuel pump.

Once done, the car should perform like it used to.

It ran into 07 as well. Mine is a 2007 and had it done at about 40k

^^not a good sign, you think it's early built 07's only? i got 36k on mine and i'm hoping this doesn't become an issue. Gotta look up how to inspect for the issue.

Hard to say. I special ordered mine in May of 07 so it was about mid year.

Not good at all.... I hope I dont run into this issue....Audis are expensive to maintain if out of warrenty. I have 2 years left on mine...Im afraid after that is up.
