Default <Survey> Who has had cam seal replacement on 1.8T?
The symptoms usually start with a burnt oil smell coming through the vents especially at startup (A/C off, fan on) when engine is warm. I have had it replaced twice and had a PCV valve replaced and my car only has 30K on it.

Anyone else had something else replaced as a result of the burning oil smell?

Default I've had none of your symptoms, but had cam tensioner replaced.
It was a rattle due to slack chain sound. 2001 Passat 1.8T at 40-50,000 miles.
