Audi has encountered a problem with the FSI engines camshaft and cam follower that could lead to detrimental damage to your engine's cylinder head. This small part can play quite a big role in your engine's well being, as it keeps a barrier and connection point between your camshaft and your high pressure cam driven fuel pump. The follower itself rides on the camshaft and transfers force to the fuel pump.
If it becomes worn to the point of breaking it can cause permanent damage to the receiving end of the fuel pump. Without replacement, it is common for followers to have full holes worn though them.
