[Vwdiesel] Signs of PD worn cam syndrome?

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

There is a list of potential symptoms on the TDI club but some of them  
are rather iffy if you ask me but worth taking a look at.  I tried  
several times before I finally got someone to list the symptoms for me  
so you might look for my posts and their follow ups or just do a  
google search of the TDI  club with PD cam failure symptoms as the  
main search title.  Hayden
