Pattern parts For PD 130 TDI

[SPANKSTER1967]

Hi.

Having diagnosed chocolate camshaft syndrome in my 130 TDI Bora, I have set about looking for parts to repair it. Genuine parts are about £600 all in. has anyone got any experience of the pattern parts, such as this http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_kw=tdi&_kw=camshaft found on ebay? £185 plus postage !!! I'm not precious about my car. It's done 135K, is worth about 2 grand on a good day, but I love driving it. I want it to be reliable, and don't want to have to do the same job in 5000 miles when the possibly rubbish cam falls out again.

So, any info much appreciated. I will do the cam belt at the same time. Are GSF ones ok?

Thanks,

Simon.

AJM and ASZ cams are the same.
