mine was a little worse than yours. audi ended up replacing the pump, cam, lifter, and follower along with all gaskets etc. thank you baby jesus for having been a CPO! $1600 covered fo $free.99

im 95% sure its covered up to 110,000 miles. but you need a "symptom" or CEL. i luckily work for a company that owns an audi dealer so im pretty sure they just made up a symptom for me, since i discovered the wear myself when i inspected it. converstation went like this:

Me: (emailed pictures) I inspected my cam follower for wear and found this. There is no tension left on the pump either..can this be covered under the extended warranty on the cam followers? i replaced the follower already.

Audi service: since you replaced the cam follower already we cant do anything.

Me: .....what if i put the old one back in?....

Audi Service: Thats probably a good idea, i would get it towed up here.

Me: Done.


hahah i was shocked they said that...but hey, cant complain!!
