I have a 2004 Jetta PD with a one worn chamshaft lobe. I would like to replace the camshaft with a dependable one. I was thinking Bora parts or IDparts. Also, are there aftermarket performance camshafts and are they worth while?

I've heard of the Colt cams. I don't know their results but the price would make a difference to me.

I have removed the camshaft and discovered extensive wear. Follow link below to view images of worn camshaft, followers and bearings.

This all I've found but no idea if they're any good or worthwhile.

Yep, your camshaft is toast. I don't know what that little piece is but my guess is that the cracked lifter pieces got bounced around. There is no scale to see how big it is and I don't recognize it as anything.

German materials are not good, even worse than Americans
