Warranty extension: Intake Camshaft, Camshaft Follower and High Pressure Fuel Pump

I recieved a letter from Volkswagen recently saying they are extending the warranty on the Intake Camshaft, Camshaft Follower and High Pressure Fuel Pump to 10 year or 120k miles which ever occurs first. This applies to vehicles with the 2.0t BPY engine. Typically this applies to model years 2006 through 2007. This does not apply to the TSI engine found in 2007.5 onward.

This is great news due to the issues with the HPFP beating a hole through the camshaft follower into the camshaft. I personally feel this issue is due to the engine eating oil and not having enough to properly protect the follower. I myself have not had this issue and change my oil every 5k Mile and top off every 2.5k Miles.
