Cam follower. Genuine or....
« on: June 28, 2022, 02:28:31 pm »
Will be taking the golf off the road to get some jobs done and want to do this aswell. Is it genuine only or local factors?

Thanks.

I've had non genuine before, it wore fairly similarly but did look like it was not the exact same material or possibly quality. I would stick to genuine from now on for peace of mind, 50/60 quid for a Cam follower kit isn't worth skimping on I think.

I always recommend using the same brand so you learn the mileage intervals for the specific brand you use. Not that they will not differ, but I imagine each from one brand will likely last more similarly to each other than those you from brand jumping. With that said, I still use whichever is supplying VW. I've seen posts recommending INA, but I have no personal reviews for that brand. I recall reading one topic/thread on the INA brand and someone was saying INA supplies VW. They posted a pic of the VW follower case and sticker....and INA was on the sticker. But I couldn't find the post or pic just now.
