Does anyone know of inherent problems on a 2006 camshaft wearing?

With which model/engine code?

And Car: 2001 doesn't tell us much does it?

Yes, read this article http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/multi/camshaft-inspection-replace-vw-tdi.htm

Did a mechanic tell you this? Yes, it's a common problem which can be made worse with thin or incorrect oil.

Cam wear is a problem even if you use the so called correct oil. I used 505 01 5W-30 every oil change and mine is still worn. Fill a complaint with the NHTSA. Maybe they will be recalled one day. Be prepared for the DMF to go.
