Greetings all,

I have a 96 passat wagon that has been making some horrible pinging and banging noise. I took cover off the motor to investigate the noise (bad idea). While messing around I cracked the steel shaft with the teardrop-shaped objects that depress the pistons.

What is that shaft called?

That sounds right. Thanks. Probably not something I should have cracked into 2 pieces. Now to find one...

Anyone want a 96 passat wagon without a camshaft?

Yeah I'll give it a shot eventually. There are so many other minor issues though. Frustrating. Pretty much everything on the list of things to watch out for with a 96 Passat has happened.

I'm in Boise and would consider selling it if anyone is interested.
