PD TDI Jetta Camshaft Inspection at 61k Miles

[Keverke54]

The best engines ever made if u use de right oil. Done almost 400.000 KM now , still runs like new ! In europe many cars have that engine or one based on that : VW, Seat , Skoda , Audi . Where i live , 75 % of cars are diesel .

When you change your timing belt does the valve cover come off too? I'm just curious if you can do this inspection while your getting your timing belt changed

I'm using Lucas Engine Break-in Additive with ZDDP - about 6oz per oil change. I made it to 100k miles last week, had the cam inspected by a local PD TDI guru. It's no worse than when this video was taken. ;) I replaced the timing belt and related bits. Onward to 200k miles!

Piece of shit german engineering.

I'd ZDDP, MoS2 and hexagonal Boron Nitride if I owned a POS motor like that.

How much of ZDDP additive do you add per OCI? Also, what's your OCI?

That's deep.  Just try the Amsoil and run the car for 500,000 miles and then show us pics.

She's hanging in there! I just pulled the VC again at 70k and it looks no different. Total Quartz Ineo plus ZDDP additive seems to have stopped the wear.

that cam has a few marks on it........

So what's the verdict? Will she live?

That's a nice ride. You should be using Amsoil 505.01 spec oil in that thing now.
