Lol exact same part. Think he just stocks them so its easier for people to just buy from him instead of finding the part number etc

As Betty posted, order one from Alex's shop and yes it can be bought from the VW main dealer or TPS. Treat the Cam Follower, along the DV, as a serviceable item and change it once a year, especially the CF on a mapped car.

Once a year is a bit excessive for the cam follower IMHO. I just replaced mine for the first time (no receipts for it being done by previous owner) at 70k and it was barely worn.
I'd suggest replacing every 3 years in normal use on a tuned car. Only the yanks seem to have to change them all the time with the poor oil & fuel they run over there

Lol pretty much everyone changes them every 10-20k
For the sake of a £30 part, i'd happily change it every 10k.
each to their own I suppose :stupid:
