A close-up video of the camshaft condition on my 2006 TDI (PD). 61k miles on the odometer, running ELF Solaris LLX 507.00 every 10k since the car's first oil change.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • hes using 507

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

  • So what's the verdict? Will she live?
