    YUP!! Cam phasers went south! Very common on 05 and some 06 STOCK.
    Still a problem if you put in higher rate springs in the heads.

    Do you have an idea where he should write to?

    That's horrible to hear...

    Try the factory where it was built, if you haven't? Maybe they could direct you somewhere else, if anything?

    I really hope this works out in your friend's favor!

    Edit... nvm, looks like you already tried the factory? Hate to state the obvious, but a dealer? Can't think of anywhere else!
