My 06 Manual A3 only has 54,000 and just got word today the cam shaft is bad and needs to be replaced along with the high pressure fuel pump. The turbo was acting up at 48000 and didn't have power while in 4,5 and 6 gear at least once a day. The check engine light has been coming on since 48k as well.

Doesn't seem right that a cam shaft would go bad on such a quality built car. Must have been machined improperly or bad steel.

Any of you had any of these problems or ever heard of this problem on an Audi?

Luckily the dealer is working with me and will be covered under original 50k warranty. They have given me an 08 A4 convertible to drive for the next week while they wait on the parts as well.

Cheers

 

Heard of it happening,never seen one. Not really all that common at all.
