Sorry to hear.
Warranty or customer pay? Either way, what is the customer pay amount range if that's the situation?
Warranty covered it.

Not sure how much it's going to be if customer pays. My guess labor is going to be pretty high as it looks like a big job. Teardown involves alot of parts removal to get to the eccentric assembly including the intake camshaft.

How do I know? I watched this video. Not the same car but it's a B58
