    The cam followers have to do with the computer controlled cam timing. This is a very complex job, the last one I repaired took almost 20 hours, but that was on an earlier Audi model year 2004. This is no job for a hobbyist, same with the fuel filter. These are great cars but it takes a Pro level tech to deal with them and it takes considerable $ on a regular basis. I can't afford to drive a BMW, Mercedes or Audi because of the costs involved, and I can do all the work.
