How to change Fuel Pump Cam Follower on 2.0 TFSi

<< < (33/40) > >>

spwd:
Managed to borrow a 3/8 one off a mechanic, not sure if I'll be able to get in with it but worth a try before spending on a set.

J4k3:
Just replaced mine, car is on 64k and no proof of it being changed ever, so wasn't taking any chances. Seems to only have minimal wear so maybe changed at some point in its life.

Couldn't for the life of me disconnect the bottom electrical connector, don't know how people are managing to get to it, as it's in such a difficult place with the clip facing downwards! Didn't seem to effect anything though by not disconnecting it.

Thanks for the guide!

Reading more & more about the Cam Follower has naturally got me feeling nervous! Are there any indicators on age/mileage as to when they start to wear? Ive got a 57 plate Edition 30 but its only on 29k so wanted to know if Im worrying about nothing? Also, how much are the replacement followers?

Cheers.

There is no indication or standard ages they wear at. A lot to do with quality of oil. You'll just have to take it and check im afraid. On 29k im sure its fine if the engine is stock. Dont worry yourself unnecessarily, but dont forget about it.
