Hello, I'm living near Whitehorse, Yukon, and contemplating offering to buy an off lease 2006 Jetta TDI [privately].
I'm concerned about the possible camshaft wear problem, and I would like to have the camshaft inspected before I buy. The car has 71,000 km on it - that about 44,400 miles. Would such wear show up at this mileage? I.e., is it worth doing this inspection? If not, at what mileage would the wear, if it occurs, likely become visible?
Thanks, Phil Herzog
