Cam Follower Change (with banjo bolt)
Human Joist:
Check every 20,000 or so. According to VW they should be changed at 40k I believe. Not a big job I did mine last month in 30 mins and I had the more alkwood two metal pipes. You don't need to set it at tdc. Have a look on this forum there is loads of info over the last three months to read to make sure you know exactly what it entails and how easy and important it is rather than start another thread as all the good info is already there. It may even be pinned

If modified I'd check every service, if not modified maybe longer.
Some people do 80k without issue, some people eat away their cam in 10k

I don't think Vw even have them in the service schedule, they ignore them along with the fuel filter.
Human Joist:
Not surprised. The interval must have come from this forum. Fuel filter is on to do list too.
Anyway here is the link from the other month with other info on links off it. Worth a read

Rob.:
One guide I read referred to setting TDC, but loads of others didn't. I believe it's to do with reducing pressure on the HPFP pump spring due to the lobe being at it's lowest?
Everything's working fine, so I guess it's not vital.
I might have a look at the fuel filter sometime soon too then!
