Description of the problem	Problem: premature wear of the cam and cam follower resulting in p0087 errors. This causes the car to run very erratic, surging and bucking and a general loss of power. There is an audi tsb (technical service bulletin) on this very issue for my 2005, 2006 and 2007. This is a very wide spread problem! My 2008 audi should be covered. --- at around 60k miles the car started experiencing the dreaded premature wear of the cam lobe follower and the high pressure fuel pump lobe. The follower was replaced but the cam was not. The car was then taken to my audi mechanic and i was told this is a widespread problem and that audi had extended the warranty on the high pressure pump, cam follower and the cam to 120,000 miles and mine would be covered. When i took it to the audi dealer they did everything that had a recall and told me to try it. The problem quickly returned and i had my mechanic remove the high pressure pump and we looked at the wear on the follower and cam. The cam as well as the follower were extremely worn. I do have pictures from then and now that the cam and follower have been replaced, i have the old parts as well. Next took it back to audi dealership expecting to have this issue resolved and was told my vin was outside the extended warranty program and was not covered. They then told me i needed a cam and follower and i was given an estimate. I would audi to reimbruse me for the work i had performed. *tt

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
