Audi A3 1.6 FSi High Pressure Fuel Pump Cam Follower Tappet Change P091

[@DrBlueTongue]

Thanks for the video, worked a treat. On mine my banjo fittings were already stripped so I left the banjos in and undid the clip to the 2 metal hoses to the left of the the fuel pump, and I had enough room to lift it out no problems. My one with 138k km on the motor looked only a little worn, almost new.

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

Aha. Good idea. I am glad yours is still looking good. I bet the car has had more frequent oil changes than my sons had!

[@DrBlueTongue]

@@dibsyardshuntinglayout it gets a ton of abuse, but yes very frequent oil and servicing :) Thanks again for the video!

I put together a kit to do the same job on my 2005 BLF (1.6 FSI) I thought that I would replace the bolts as well. Here are the part numbers I found: BAG engine code: 03C109309C - tappet / cam follower 03C127311 / WHT005184 - Oring N90476201 - pump bolt (4 needed) Some updates turns out my engine code is completely different: :D BLP, BLF engine code: 03C109309E - tappet / cam follower 06E127248- Oring - not manufactured anymore, maybe find some compatible aftermarket parts N10247505 - pump bolt (3 needed) I could only find the torque spec for 2.0 FSI fuel pump bolts which are slightly different. That was 10Nm

Great information! Thank you for sharing to the community.

Where an earth did you find this info/part numbers as none of them are for vw’s or Audi’s 🙁

Hi there where can you buy the tappet /cam follower from that part number is what I need can only find 2.0 one's

[@hentatiwassim3155]

Can i put 2.0 fsi cam follower in my 1.6 engine?

[@xmnpower]

Hi, We have We see the yellow oil lamp and the sensor sign in our audi a3 2005 year 1.6 automatic car , we changed the oil, the oil cooler has been changed, but this light still remains on. What could be the main reason for the problem? Can you help?

[@Davyyd1]

How do i know The cam follower is broken ? It makes a sound?

[@dibley1973]

For my step son's car his symptoms were: Very reduced power at medium to high revs. We assumed this was because the fuel pump was not delivering enough pressure due to insufficient stroke caused by the worn follower. Replacing the follower cured his issue. I don't recall it being overly "tappetty".

Hi brow what is the reference for the cam fallower Audi a3 1.6 fsi please? I need this but i don’t find :(

[@dibley1973]

Sorry as we no longer have the car we binned all the the invoices, so I am afraid I cant provide you with the part reference. :(

[@MrDelvey]

Have you got a part number for the cam follower

[@dibley1973]

Sorry, only just seen this. Probably too late for you by now. I'll try and look it up and add it to the description.

[@rPad23]

03C109309E I believe

[@pupukani8764]

The part number is 03C 109 309 C I ordered this cam follow, from local (Finland) VW-dealer 10/11 2021 The diameter and hight is 20mm

[@dibley1973]

Thank you for the info!

I ordered the same part. Price was +60e and then 10e for the o-ring. So about 70e in total. My 1.6FSI has run 340k km already so its about time to change the cam follower.

[@MauriceNL1]

So this is also common for 1.6, not only 2.0?

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

This was on the 1.6. I have heard that the 2.0s can do this too, but not experienced it my self.

[@andreeav5067]

what is the code of this part for 1.6 FSI?

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

Sorry, I did not make a note of it. It was lapse of me not to.

[@Daltonfg]

How many kilometres/miles at the time of the repair? And current mileage?

[@dibley1973]

Sorry, I don't think we made a note of how many it was on at the time. But it was over 100,000 miles (I think) when we did it.

[@peterszmola5294]

What is the engine code of this car??? Blf??

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

I am very sorry, but my son no longer has this car, so I do not have access to that information.

[@oconnor4132]

Thanks, great video. I've got the same issue. How long do you think this will last without changing the cam? Is the car still working today?

[@dibley1973]

Yes the car is still running OK, used nearly everyday since for short journeys. The worse kind of journeys! My step son suspects it may not be as good as when we first did it but still way, way better than when it wore right through. We really must check it soon, but I am sure it's already scored and slowly filling the sump with swarf.

[@oconnor4132]

Good to know it's still working. I'll do the same on mine and hopefully it'll last a year or two. There's no way I'm changing the camshaft, it's just not worth it. I don't mind too much if I have to change the follower during regular service. With a bit of luck the camshaft lobe will smooth out over time haha

[@dibley1973]

@@oconnor4132 - yes I think that will be our approach too. Just limp it along with frequent replacements until he gets rid of the car.

[@dibley1973]

@@oconnor4132 - You can get the right size O rings off ebay for a fraction of the charge from VW. I think they were like 50p instead of £7 or something like that.

[@oconnor4132]

dibley1973 Thanks I’ll get it on eBay. Seems like there isn’t much choice online for the follower, I’ll try to get it from the VW or Audi dealership.

[@peterwarner9572]

Did you ever change the cam? Got a similar problem except that the cam is much more worn. Might still just replace the cam follower and see if I get away with it. How hard is the cam swap to do?

[@dibley1973]

Unfortunately we never got to do the cam, as the car got written off from a rear ender. You could limp it on with a new follower on old cam, but be aware you will be introducing more "swarf" into the oil system. We had some big bits of the follower in the sump and on the oil pick up. Not good for engine longevity!

[@peterwarner9572]

@@dibley1973 yeah, trouble is it's not worth the expense of swapping the cam, so I'll check the follower every 5k miles and replace as needed until I don't have the car anymore I think. Was the sump easy to take out? Might do that and give it a clean, but only if I don't need to remove loads of other things underneath

[@dibley1973]

@@peterwarner9572 - getting the sump off was fine. Needs exhaust front section removing, and nothing else to major. Worst not was there are two Allen screws right up in recesses near the flywheel end of the block. Even with grease on the ends of long ball end Allen keys there were proper "cnuts" to replace. We lost them in behind the flywheel a couple of times. Luckily my son has a lot of patience. I'd run out of it!
