Is this a New Common MK7 Engine Issue?

The MK7 GTI is one of the most reliable VWs in a very long time. In this video, we look at a failure that has become more common. The failure of intake camshafts and cam phasers is becoming more common on 1.8t engines, especially ones that are burning oil. In this video, we explain the problem, what’s failing and how to diagnose a bad intake cam.

Lol,Volkswagen-they dont make engines like they used to. Those old beetle air cooled engines if looked after were incredibly reliable,not so with these engines they are absolute garbage quality. Like a lot of new engines thesedays they are not made to last they are made to a budget. Toyota is about the only car manufacturer that still makes quality vehicles and engines. I certainly would not go near any Volkswagen,good for 200,000 ks and then they are ready for the wreckers.

When you mentioned "seals are leaking" in the video, did you mean the cambridge o-ring seals, or those little seals that you took out of the cam-shaft adjuster in the video?

Hi. I'm a Paul crisis enjoyer. This video had multiple instances where Paul experienced a crisis from the engines not having enough oil, and I enjoyed it.
