How to change Fuel Pump Cam Follower on 2.0 TFSi
acko2204:
Also made sure I had the engine TDC just in case not sure if this matters or not, hardest bit of all the job for me was trying to get the cam belt cover back on jeeeez what a pain in the arse.
Took me longer to do that bit then the HPFP cam check

To be honest I did not bother getting the engine to TDC.
Just ensured that upon reassembly all three fuel pump bolts were tightened down equality in turn so that there was no potential to distort or knacker the fuel pump piston & spring.

Great guide. very much appreciated. Just bought a mk5 on 83k and having done my research before buying the car on this forum i knew the follower would be the first thing i checked.Its a 2 owner car with full history and no evidence of the follower ever been replaced. The guy i bought it of had the car 10 years and he certainly hadnt had it changed.
So after buying a kit of awesome gti for £64 inc delivery(bolts /seal/cam follower) and doing my research on here i went for it.
Was very pleased to find a cam follower all in one piece.whilst the coating had worn off the follower the cam and fuel pump looked good condition.New follower fitted and all went back together well.
So for people as a reference the car was on 83k on the origional follower. regular oil changes and has had a remap since about 35k

Thanks for this guide, love the pictures and going to have a go at this tomorrow.
Is the consensus to put the engine in TDC or not needed?
Not sure if mine ('08) has the banjo or not but would people recommend replacing it after disconnecting it or will it be fine if it isn't chewed up?
Any good videos which have the banjo example in?
Octoparrot:
I think you'll be ok, I believe the banjo bolt was done away with after '06.
