A number of owners of cars equipped with the BRM PD TDI engine have reported premature wear of the camshaft and related top-end components. Not every car equipped with this engine has these issues, but the number of owners experiencing this issue is not insignificant. In the North American market, the ‘05.5, ’06, and ‘06.5 Jetta TDI were equipped with this engine. Other markets may feature this engine in different cars and different model years. Other engines featuring PD technology may or may not experience this issue. Below are a few links to threads with discussions on the issue.:
