if its warranty you need covered, all vw certified dealerships will do it. they just wont admit there is any such warranty. i hear some dealerships are giving the bullshit excuse that they can't do any warranty work unless theres a cel.
which is complete bs, because my car didn't trip any CEL and the cam follower had a hole blown right through with both intake and exhaust cams mangled. hpfp was gone as well.

I tried @ two dealerships.
they both said my CAM follower is still in good condition.
i'm at 110k km.
I just want to get the cam follower changed so I can get it off my mind

You are laboring under a false impression. The follower itself is fine.
If your FSI engine has a head with the A version intake cam, there is a possibility that the lobe will beat the crap out of your cam follower.
Later (2008?) FSI engines come with the B cam which supposedly solves the issue.
Head replacement with the B cam is what the TSB covers.
Checking the follower is easy. You just need a set of spline bits (cheap on amazon, ebay, etc) and some shop towels and a little fresh oil for reassembly. There is a good diy here on the forum.
The follower itself costs like $50. But replacing a follower that is not damaged with a new follower does not address the problem that the TSB covers.
