here is the part number. In modded cars cam follower should be inspected and replaced regularly for peace of mind!

took me going slowly an hour to take fuel pump off and put it back on. So if they change more than a hour they are having a giraffe

If you are confident in removing the fuel pump (3 bolts and some hose clamps) then swapping the cam follower is very very straightforward

Just had a quick look for the guide on the forum but couldn't see it

unless you have the older pumps which both fuel lines are metal all the way upto the pump you have a very difficult bolt to remove.

Wow, that is good! My tuner, Storm Developments, are doing that for me as well, but for £300.00 all in. Still a lot better than 750 for an APR pump plus fitting I guess.

did you look into getting all the fuel lines replaced with the newer ones at one point? didnt happen to record all the part numbers and or prices did you?

I did this mod when I was changing from K03 to K04...So much easier now! Banjo Bolt defin most annoying but doable!

Parts are expensive too, I got lucky on ebay and found the fuel line from a S3 for about 30quid posted?

I just changed mine at the big 80K service. Also did plugs, Pipercross dry filter, Rev D DV, oil and all other filters. All seem like a good idea before going up through the stages.  :happy2:
