Good vid, only thing I couldn't see was where you were working on the banjo bolt! I'm getting epc light, and code p2295 I believe! Says fuel pressure regulator sensor could bad cam follower cause this code?

Thanks for posting.

Does the high pressure fuel fitting have a small aluminum washer that sits on top of it, between it and the female part of the fuel pump that it screws into?

[@alimerci3496]

Good job 👏

hi, i have audi a4 b7 2.0t fsi s-line. I have the following problem eror code (p2293 fuel pressure regulator 2) and two p0087 fuel rail/system pressure too low. The engine runs very poorly. what is the problem?

[@Goodbye_Megaton]

9 months ago, but what did it end up being? I had the p2295 fuel pressure regulator 2 control circuit low, and 8 other seemingly unrelated error codes. Highly reputable scam shop told me I needed a new high pressure fuel pump, $1000. I took the car back and investigated it myself with the help of Audizine and Reddit. Found it to be a badly corroded, and dead 614 relay in the ECU area. Replaced OEM relay, and cleaned out contacts with electrical cleaner safe for plastics. Went in there with some of those GUM dental floss cleaner brushes. Replaced ECU cover with OEM one because mine was cracked, and one of the screws completely stripped and its head broken off. Fabricated a new hole for a new non-OEM screw to go in there and secure it, because the stripped one would not come out even after taking the hood off, and trying to drill it out. It was the lower left screw (from perspective of sitting in drivers seat). The T30 torx screw that's the hardest to come out of the 5 on the ECU cover. New cover with new screw is sealed tight again. All the codes went away instantly upon startup of vehicle. Car came out of limp mode. Full power restored.

Nice and clear , thanks

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Much respect👍🏽

[@deemcgee66]

Is there much difference in brand for the pump? Im having a few fault code, p2294, fuel rail pressure regulator valve ... and car in limp mode... not sure if pump replacing will fix the issues, dint want to spend more than necessary to find out... hitachi is about £100 less than bosch ... or cheaper ones on ebay but not sure if i trust them

Tips on doing this on a 2006 car with no bleeder valve on the HPFP?

[@rubenmunoz3981]

I have the same cuestión

[@DanK-Mtb]

@@rubenmunoz3981 remove the high pressure wire/connector and start the car for 10-15 sec freepdfhosting.com/8791e81dac.pdf

[@uwu441]

maybe unplug the fuze for the HPFP then crank engine over a few times then hopefully it should be fine to take off.

[@Goodbye_Megaton]

By any chance, do you know where a little silver 1/2 inch washer goes on the HPFP? When I was disassembling one of the fuel fittings (can't remember which one) I heard something fall down behind the fuel pump. I was convinced by my Dad that it was nothing, and I just tapped on something that made the noise. So we pressed on. It wasn't until I realized the rubber cap to a small pry bar I used to get the the hose off, was missing, that I went down there with a camera scope. Found the rubber cap below the fuel pump, and sure enough there was a washer down there too right next to it. I have no idea where this washer goes. I think it fell out of something while either unthreading the low pressure line or the high pressure line. I've looked at online schematics, this washer seemingly has nothing to do with the HPFP.

[@acesteel7157]

side note for anyone watching this, i have a 07 model after 2006 the banjo bolt was removed and replaced with a rubber hose if this is the case it is not necessary to remove it order to replace the cam follower

[@crescentandstarglory]

Thanks for the videos brother. Do you have a video on how to change the starter in a B5.5 Passat?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Sure, no problem. Thanks for watching! Currently, no video on the starter.

[@MooseAgainstMankind]

Do you need to drain the oil beforehand?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Nah, you don't need to.

[@MooseAgainstMankind]

@CraftyWorkshopBuilds Good to know, thanks for response!

[@dubbified]

I've checked out my high pressure fuel pump thimble and I have seen companies out there replace the three bolts with studs do you recommend that? Those metal screws can wear out the head when your servicing every twenty thirty thousand proactively inspecting. I also saw a company sell and updated set up that offers a roller thimble instead of a standard metal cup at the end of the fuel pump touching the cam. The roller update seems to be an intelligent idea. What are your thoughts on this? Great video!

[@BattOnly]

It works great on VW's because their HPFP are located in the open, on the right side of the engine I believe. On A4's. it is so close to the firewall already, that it would make this job even harder to do.

[@jazzer111]

did mine on mk5 gti takes few mins saves £££

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

I'm happy you were able to save, by doing it yourself 👍🏽

[@TurboYachtClub]

Thank you

[@ep6438]

Did you have to remove anything else to be able to get to the 8mm banjo bolt with the extension?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Nah, nothing extra. I showed everything that I Removed.

[@DiscreetNYC]

I think stripped the fuel pump. one of my xt30 bolt’s won’t screw in. Someone help please 😢

Helpful.....

Just bought a 2006 Quattro 2.0 about 118k miles, I know it’s needs to be oiled regularly along with the cam followers need to be replaced but Is there anything else I be should know , I’m just looking for concerns that I should take care of

What kind of oil did you use on the cam follower to place it back in?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

I used engine oil, 0w 40.

[@kedzis]

how long would take to replace it for a proffessional mechanic?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Probably under an hour or so.

[@kedzis]

My garage did it in 1.8hrs so most likely they included few tea breaks..

[@JonathanMelvin]

Why remove the valve?

[@andreweast4505]

What damages could a faulty one cause?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

It could damage the camshaft.

[@sergiomendoza8664]

At how many miles do you need to change camfollower ?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Check it evey 20-30k miles. And replace if needs be.

[@sergiomendoza8664]

@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds Thank so much

[@miraciamiracia8007]

Check every 20k miles. It Will save you some headache.

[@gustavomartinez7124]

Would this be the reason my engine is making a tick noise

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yea, it's possible.

[@aro8654]

What fault codes and\or symptoms this would make?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

I haven't seen any fault codes for this, and I haven't seen any symptoms either. If you wait for a symptom it might be to late, and already caused damages. I'd suggest replacing it if you don't know the last time it was replaced.

[@mark.r8900]

Hi, do you know a good brand to buy? Thanks

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yes, check the link in the description.

[@kimimaro7z]

Today I changed that part and it turned out that I did not have it, I did not know. I drove it about 25 thousand kilometers, I didn't see any damage, it could be bad, but how bad?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

It could cause scratches on the crankshaft, which could cause the new cam follower to wear out faster. But you said you didn't notice anything damage.

[@leo4870]

At what mileage should this be done

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Should be checked every 20k miles, and replace if needed.
