Great Video! That the the best, most thorough video for cam follower replacement I have seen. I especially like that you did not remove the final hose and still replaced cam follower. Most videos I have watched on this subject were taking off the banjo bolt or removing the whole fuel pump from all hoses. Mine is like this vehicle , so no banjo bolt. Thanks for the video.

[@audi_anatomy]

I am so glad it helped you! that why i enjoy filming it :D and yes, i try to make it as easy as possible :D

Great video thanks mate

Glad you enjoyed it

Mine with 106516km was in the begining of the end. Worse than yours. Black coat on the surface was all gone and started to wear towards the thickness. Good Video.

[@audi_anatomy]

Great thing you decided to check it out, because you never know how far away from catastrophy you actually were. But now you're safe again! :)

[@CarChris82]

The 3 bolts are torqued to 10nm

[@darkjak4]

Hello there really good tutorial on that. Just got the same engine on my newly bought TT 2.0 Tfsi S Tronic BWA engine, sitting at 182.000k I've took a close look at the HPFP and its seems they it has never been changed. So I'm kind worried.

[@audi_anatomy]

Do the change then asap, it is cheap and easy and can save your car :D good luck and lots of nice km with new car!!!

[@darkjak4]

@@audi_anatomy good news just change mine today. Like I've told I guess it was never changed before cause the head of the bolts and nuts didn't have tool marks. And also the o-ring was black. Mine was almost like the original one you took out from your car. Used on the black coat but flat and in good condition, the cam lobe was also clean of marks as well as the HPFP piston. I was really worries cause with this amount of kilometres and still with the original one was worries that would found a hole in the follower, since I've read around here of cars that hey failed way sooner, don't know if it was because of bad oil/maintenance. At least now I'm relieved and know that don't need to worry about it for another 2 ou 3 oil changes. Again great tutorial and info keep does videos up.

[@audi_anatomy]

@@darkjak4 great news! thank you, i hope you enjoy your car for many more miles!! :)

[@jairotylera7422]

Hey, thanks for the howto! Can you tell us where to buy the o-ring replacement or at least its dimensions?

[@jairotylera7422]

So I've just found out the piece. It's OEM reference part number is WHT005184 for anyone interested in buying it.

[@audi_anatomy]

Sorry for late reply! I order all part online, cheap and delivered to your house ;)

[@BabaBaba-mm1rz]

So you dont need to let the oil out the engine to open the fuel pump ? Because a friend sayd it to me that i have to let the oil out the engine before i work on the fuel pump

[@fabiohendel768]

The oil is supposed to be in the oil pan because it’s sink by gravity :) I think it’s just a precaution to not burn your hands with it :)

[@audi_anatomy]

apsolutely no. There is going to be a bit of oil on the follower and that is ok. You need to let the gas (petrol) out slowly, just like in the video, through a small valve on the pump. :)

[@pixing_yang]

hi bro... i have my audi tt if i drive 50-70km/h its come out engine warning... and my car like jrking .. wht is that problem , i alrrady chnge . ignition coil , and spark plug but still.

[@audi_anatomy]

really hard to say without checking the car properly. I suggest you read the obd codes out, before you buy new parts and change them out..

[@scottmcnabb9122]

I changed my cam follower it runs fine but it seem to be using more fuel why is that . After i changed it . My cam follower was in bad shape no rubber left on it because i wasn't a where of it at that time . Not all the way though the cam follower thank God .

[@audi_anatomy]

there is no rubber, it is made of steel only. the black top is just made of hardened steel. But great job, you might have saved your car! :D The fuel consumption has nothing to do with it, unless you didnt put the fuel lines back properly and now have a fuel leak. So start the car, open the hood and check if there is fuel leaking from the pump.

What are the torque settings for the 3 bolts

[@audi_anatomy]

oh, sorry, i forgot them. Take a look at "humble mechanic" YT, he has a video with torque specs I think

[@jhaouam]

@@audi_anatomy 10nm

[@EdwardChew]

Hi bro. I just bought a 8J at 150,000km. What damage does it do if not changed?

[@audi_anatomy]

hi! It has slightly shorter piston throw when pumping fuel, so minimal signs of lowered fuel pressure. If its bad bad, you can end up having metal particles falling off, mixing with oil ands possibly clogging other engine parts causing oil starvation

[@EdwardChew]

@@audi_anatomy oh ok got it! Took it out today. Mine looks new 😁

[@EdwardChew]

@@audi_anatomy thanks bro for sharing this video

[@Vegitha786]

What happens if you don’t change the O ring?

[@audi_anatomy]

there is always a higher change of leak. It might also hold just fine, its just the chance :D

[@filipemedeiros685]

Quantos a quantos se muda isto 10.000km ou 20.000mil km?

[@Rmarreiro]

30mil km, carros alterados 15mil km será o mais recomendado.

[@tinsaric2329]

My fuel pump failed, so i took it to audi service, im unsure did those fools changed my cam follower with my fuel pump. it would be logical to do it. right ?

[@audi_anatomy]

In this video I work on “ high pressure fuel pump” You have another,” low pressure pump” in ypur gas tank. Which one did they replace? :) You can always check this follower, and if you see scratched surface change it, its 10 eur ;)

[@tinsaric2329]

@@audi_anatomy high presure

[@audi_anatomy]

That is the one in video. Sure, follow the vid and check the follower. If its new, it should be all black on the top.

[@tinsaric2329]

@@audi_anatomy with the notion that im going to do stage 2, i think this inspection is a must. Cheers,tnx

[@intunewithcars9484]

mine had a hole ...

[@audi_anatomy]

That is a red flag and great that you changed it!! it was close to causing some serious damage to the whole engine, and your fuel pressure is probabbly much better now !!

[@intunewithcars9484]

@@audi_anatomy was a tiny mark on the cam when i removed the follower and the end of the fuel pump is slightly worn after the spring that goes into the follower, been ok since i replaced at a crucial time but just goes to show these cam followers must be replaced if you being a used car or every 20k, my car is an 8p audi a3 2.0 tfsi s line stage 1 remap

[@audi_anatomy]

@@intunewithcars9484 of course. Especially if you tune a car and push it a bit over stock power, it cost like 10 eur, and it takes 20 minutes to replace :)

If you fit the uprated fuel pump then you need to inspect the cam follower every 3 months otherwise you'll destroy the engine when the bits block the oilways.

@kenny hewitson interesting. He's showing people how to replace something that is a very important thing to replace. Being methodical, showing how to do the extra things that people don't know how to do. If you read in the comments you'll see that. Not up to your expectations. You could do your own... Says the man that has a Passat. Not as manly as your beard is I see. Hahahaha 🤣
