Sorry didn't get back sooner but not available all day. Thanks for all the feed back. Firstly not sure exactly if a bearing r what was worn but will double check now u mention it. A colleague of mine also in cab business with similar mileage and identical car also had his cam replaced. Checked to see if earthed and yes. Brought it to a main dealer earlier but week before they can look at it. I know it's still not right as I drove it out and was conscious of it stalling again and not starting. I will now look at getting a good diagnostic garage to look at it but in mean time all suggestions greatly accepted and I hope I answered all who took the trouble to contact me. Cheers

2010 Ambition 2.0l TDI 140HP

Cam shaft was apparently worn (200k miles up) and your talking to someone who knows little about engines and didn't realise there are 2 different cam shafts to start with. Was making a knocking sound originally, timing belt had been replaced about 3 months prior, but other than that all was good save the dash light constantly flickering. Fault showed glow plugs faulty but when checked all good. Thanks for your interest

It's the Ambition model 140 bhp is all I'm aware of at present. I will do as u suggested in the morning and also get on to the original mechanic who fitted the cam ( other side of the country in Galway, long story ! ) Thanks for the advice and will let u know how I get on. Cheers

Recently had the cam shaft replaced on my 2l TDI Superb and after driving for approx 100 miles ( cab driver ) the engine suddenly died and wouldn't restart. After not showing up any faults, the battery was first replaced as it was over charging on meter plus new alternator installed and now new EGR valve as this was apparently seized. After getting the car back this eve, I left it running for 2 hrs and came back to a growly sound off engine just before it died again. Costing me big time replacing parts that to me are not the cause but a symptom. I suggested to check cam sensor but not listened to. Also one of the dash clocks is constantly flickering and bulbs seem to be blowing a lot but that could have been over charging battery. Not knowledgeable with engines but please any ideas, has me stressed out and no earnings coming in. HELP
