:surprised:

.........which forum mate?. Lot of American forums have had this problem but a lot of wear on there is due to the quality of the oil over there.

It isn't a service item so it's entirely up to you when you change it, if you change it at all but for £25 I would :evilgrin:

X2

I've changed mine 4 times now (over 65k miles). Better to be safe than sorry and although even after 28k miles (as i forgot for a bit with the last one :ashamed:) it was still fine. For £25 and 30 mins work it is a no brainer :happy2:
Title: Re: Now this is a fooked cam follower check yours asap
Post by: Rob84 on January 27, 2011, 10:27:58 pm: I had mine changed today as I was getting a bit worried about it after reading similar threads to that one on golfmkv.com. Mine, after approaching 38k was absolutely fine barring slight discolouration were the cam lobes come into contact with it. Suffice to say, a brand new one went in anyways.

I plan to sling a new one in every year, maybe a bit OTT but as said before, for £25 and 30 mins work, its a no brainer for the peice of mind :drinking:

Post by: cmdrfire on January 27, 2011, 11:52:25 pm: Mine was checked at 90k and apparently looked as good as new (checked by JKM) :S
These threads make me paranoid though. Apparently I shouldn't be affected by this as I've an AXX engine...

Post by: Pablos007 on January 28, 2011, 01:40:44 pm: Page 8 of this document gives you an indication of the wear that can happen whether motor is standard or tuned.

Seems to be random, but if it's worn and left too long may need the camshaft replacing as well.....

Post by: Truckie on January 28, 2011, 05:50:33 pm: What can cause this? Dont think its over fuelling as mentioned.

Post by: calculon on January 28, 2011, 09:07:33 pm: I've got a new follower sitting in my garage waiting to be installed as well ... Main cause was al the fuss on golfmkV.com (and other fora) which I visited before I found this one ...

Since I have it I'll replace it (but it'll be a pain in the ass, I have a very early pump with no pressure release valve ...), but I highly doubt if it will be necessary. Nowhere on european (uk/german/belgian) fora can I find someone who has had issues with this ... When I asked my (audi) dealer if he had ordered many of these followers in the past he couldn't recall any.

Has anyone on this forum heard from non-american cars (axx engine) having issues with the cam follower?

I know Awesome GTi have had some customer cars into them where these have needed replacing, plus they also had to do it on the grey Mk5 Stage III demonstrator they had a couple of years ago.

Post by: SKAVIA on January 31, 2011, 10:20:36 pm: I changed mine at 43,000 miles after reading all these horror stories - there was only very slight wear of the black layer and no indentation whatsoever :confused:
The inside obviously had a mark from the pump, but overall it was nice and shiny!
Like others, I changed it anyway as I had bought a new one, but I'm pretty sure it would have been fine for another 40,000 miles!
20k miles were done at Revo Stage1 and 10k at ST2+....I will try and post pics later.

Title: Re: Now this is a fooked cam follower check yours asap
Post by: blackmagic on February 13, 2011, 12:31:23 am: I think from memory my follower came with the seal when I replaced mine. Not 100% sure thou as was a while ago. Had my follower changed when I fitted my autotech internals. Again as others have said didnt really need to as original was fine. It had done 40,000 and about 10,000 on Stage 1. Had no probs with pump so far but I'll prob get follower checked at next service.

Post by: xxx_mojo_xxx on February 13, 2011, 09:43:53 am: Is there any indication that the cam follower is on the way out without taking the fuel pump off?
Title: Re: Now this is a fooked cam follower check yours asap
Post by: vRS Carl on February 13, 2011, 12:11:57 pm: Not really until something disastrous happens.

The main thing that will happen is the Cam Lobe will become fooked if the piston has gone straight through the follower.

At that point it's going to be very expensive :scared:
