If you have an AXD or AXE engine I would use Lymm Engine Components, I did my cam a few months back and after lots of research Darkside, Lymm and AW Engineering all get there cams from Estas (cam may come in a GT automotive box).Ok guys - VW Camshaft Vs Darkside Developments Vs a n other?

If you want to pay more for the exact same cam then buy from Darkside or AW Engineering.Sorry should add 07 2.5 130 - BNZ engine I think.
Thanks for that - is food for thought. Rather go with recommended than cheapest.
First thing I would ask your garage is do they have the timing tools to do a cam in a T5 2.5.That's brill, thanks for that Martin.
Our garage has asked a few other garages (VW specialists not dealers) and they have recommended that we have a VW one fitted but as this is going to obviously cost us a bob or 2 regardless I want to make sure we're fitting the right thing.
Someone else had said that VW cam shafts were "made of cheese" so I wondered if they were worth the extra money if this was the case. About £50 dearer for the VW one which in the grand scheme of things means nothing, but it's a lot for a lump of cheese!
I did think the same, why does VW list two cams and GT Automotive only list one. I actually have an AXD with no DPF so the OE VW no. on there site was right for me.Slightly concerning that GT sell a common cam and VW have one cam for non DPF and a reprofiled cam for the DPF equipped BNZ and BPC engines?

The later engines have a revised profile to allow the PD injector to operate during the exhaust blowdown and set fire to the DPF to force a regen.I wonder if that would that much of a difference for the later engine :* the bnz engine I have recently changed the head on appeared to have a different profile on the injector lobe. I maybe wrong but its still a pd engine with a mechanical means of increasing the pressure for the injector, is it only the software which fires the injector so it maybe be the same camshaft.
It does make sense, I have never actually looked at the DPF version of this cam but I guess the injector cam lobe may have a much lower lift second nose on it?.The later engines have a revised profile to allow the PD injector to operate during the exhaust blowdown and set fire to the DPF to force a regen.

Has your garage got the correct timing tools to do this job?.Wow boys you've lost me, however I will pass all of this into the garage, and am extremely grateful for your hell and advice.
