Cam follower on a AXX engine

(1/3) > >>

Hi folks

Ive been doing a spot of reading on the cam follower change and just wondering does it need to be done on an AXX engine? There's a difference of opinion that the AXX ones didn't need it doing.

Also, does anyone of a write up or a video on how to change it on a AXX engine? The videos I've seen are for the 07 plate onwards

Many thanks

It most certainly does need doing on an AXX engine. The banjo bolt will cause you the biggest headache but once you find the correct angle to tackle it, you can simply unscrew it with your fingers after it's been loosened off. I found this guide which covers all the tools you need: http://bd8ba3c866c8cbc330ab-7b26c6f3e01bf511d4da3315c66902d6.r6.cf1.rackcdn.com/FSI_Cam_Follower_Install.pdf

Thank you so much for that my new cam follower should be coming on Tuesday so will use this guide to fit it myself.

On a side note, TPS in Leicester are dreadful. Rang them three times and the guy on the other end of be phone hung up. On the 4th occasion he said yes we have it in stock at £7 each. I said are you sure that's the right part there should only be one and it sits behind the HPFP. He said yeah. So I took the 6 mile trip to the TPS branch and the guy at the counter emerged With a sun visor clip and a ashtray and said this is what he's taken out for you. Not the first time Leicester TPS have messed me around and not sure it will be the last either!

Attempted changing the cam follower today and got as far as the banjo bolt and then gave up. Will need to find a good mechanic to do this as all the ones I know have said "too busy" - too busy or can't be asked? Lol
