And I’d say if you buy a 2.0t and there are no symptoms, just change the follower. Preventative maintenance like a timing belt job on any car. Then all the worry is behind you knowing that you have the revised part in your car. Or buy one that has already had it replaced. op is LOOKING for those exact years… Also, im sure the other models and engine sizes have common problems as well correct? I didnt look it up but im sure they do. ---

If so, im not sure what sense that would make, what if he would have never ran into the problem but still spent the $2k on replacing a perfectly fine cam follower/cam shaft? Cost of repairs imo is just about as important as the reliability aspect… I think some other shit went wrong with neds car as well right after he spent the $2k in repairs, fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator or something. > [@feeler:93 buick park ave](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/feeler-93-buick-park-ave/40606/2): > > op is LOOKING for those exact years… Also, im sure the other models and engine sizes have common problems as well correct?

> [@love4boost"](#): > > Also AMD, when do you know when its time to replace these parts without them going bad? I’ve heard of this issue happening at 30k miles, neds at 60k miles and other people not until 100k miles. Not trying to be a douche or anything just saying op is looking for a nice looking car that his GIRL-friend doesnt have to WORRY about. I’d say that outrules audi. last summer io ran into ned at bj’s gas… he asked me why it was so loud and diesel like, i told him thats how fsi engines run… i told him THAT DAY to check the cam follower/cam for any damage or wear…to change the follower is 3 bolts and throw in a new follower… not a big deal and could have been prevented. ---

The key is to find a well maintained car (of any brand) and keep maintaining it. You do that and it should last. My Maxima was PERFECT (no joke) until I started to muck with it by installing a different intake manifold, suspension, etc. If I just drove that car (like I intend to drive the M - sold my lowering springs and cancelled all modding plans), then with my track record of doing all the maintenance when needed…this thing should be just as perfect at 100k+. ---
