How to change Fuel Pump Cam Follower on 2.0 TFSi
colesey:
Sorry Pudding but it has already been disposed of. If you look at the photo in the link below, then it is the retaining collar on the end of the spring which had a crack in it and was starting to deform.

Ah right, I know the bit you mean now. And it was all original up to that point? That's pretty poor! Good job it was spotted in time!

Yep all original up-to that point save for Revo stage 1 map with stock hardware. 24k mile one owner car with annual oil change, mostly using Millers NT. 2007 BWA chassis. Is a piss poor situation and I was indeed very lucky that it was spotted before a cluster fk arose.
Is worth mentioning that the car sounds mechanically quieter now it has been replaced, though I suspect the ecu needs to re-adapt as the power delivery feels 'tighter'.

Changed my cam follower myself for the first time yesterday. 88k and no record of it being changed before so it was very high on my to-do list!
This guide and thread helped me get it done DIY without any issues.
It was badly worn so I'm glad I did. I would post pics, but I'm new here and haven't worked out how to yet!
