JHM Audi B7-A4 2.0T FSI Cam Follower Replacement A3-TT-GTI DIY-Tutorial-Guide - VW

[@whatsshaken]

Did this job yesterday, for the 2nd time, @ 15,000 miles. So thankful for your vid. I bought the stud conversion kit with nuts, instead of getting new bolts, which tend to strip out the body threads due to wear etc... The follower was missing the black coating but not concave, or excessive scoring. The problem with the new stud kit is, the pump wont fit over the studs, unless you remove the thrust sensor, 1st, when the pump is on the engine. I didn't have a vice. Also I found, removing the brake vacuum tube from the firewall, creates a good amount of space. Thanks again.

I found, doing the 17mm flair nut, on the HP line, was much easier to thread, using my left hand, standing by the passenger side leaned over. It may have been a 1 time thing but, the line and nut, were aligned and tightened quick, just by feel. Great vid. Going to do mine again soon.

That was a very well put together video. Very detailed and informative! I am doing mine tomorrow, I will have this video playing and pausing it plenty of times!! Wish me luck!

How’d it go?

How’d it go

[@johnnyturbo8460]

Excellent video. Not only did you walk us thew how to do it but you explained why and how you did it in great detail

[@stephenbell2816]

Thanks for putting together this great video, really useful cheeres. My attempt at this was going well, getting the banjo bolt out wasn't so hard with the correct extension bar etc...I used a 'wobble head ' - but very tight to move around the engine space. Lost one of my socket bits whilst doing the job so couldn't get the pump bolts off. Bah !! - Will try again when I get new socket. Torque settings are approx. : 3 High pressue pump bolts = 9nm - Banjo bolt = 17nm - Fuel supply line ( the 17mm bolt ) = 17nm - avoid over tighting don't over do it. - in the end I didn't use a torque wrench it was fine. Update - Job now complete, went well, runs well.

Great video I'm having this problem I had no clue where that noise was coming from keep up the good work.

[@HOVESKO]

Great tutorial. Definitely replacing my cam follower this weekend.

[@JHMotorsportsInc]

We have Cam Followers in stock and ready to ship!

[@josehbob9185]

[@Chrisgroot19]

Great video. This helped me a lot while doing the job myself.

[@JHMotorsportsInc]

Glad this video helped!

[@ciprianlacatusu721]

Thanks, good ideea with the magnet

[@andyracksthecams]

Excellent video and tuition.

[@emilfredriksson9886]

To me the banjo was very easy to loosen and tighten, the 17mm high pressure line was hard for me.

[@Cptklutchbackup]

Yeah I dropped the banjo bolt and I can confirm it's not fun... waiting on Amazon for another one

[@jegrivera9476]

I installed a new fuel pump , but when i started the engine, it started to leak fuel drops from the banjo bolt fitting. I removed it and put it back again but it still leaking from there. Is there supposed to have some kind of washers or what am i doing wrong?. Thank you

[@JHMotorsportsInc]

I would inspect the threads on the hardware. many of the fittings are brass and the threads can easily be damaged from over torquing.

[@jegrivera9476]

@@JHMotorsportsInc Thanks i already ordered a new fuel fitting

[@707MRRIGHT]

Thanks for the video, I have a A4 b7 2.0t with about 200k miles. I’ve got your stage 2 tune along w several other mods. How often do you recommended replacing the cam follower?

[@La_motavation]

Replace it sooner than later !

[@KJTUSKJTUS]

I've read on forums and websites, although unnecessary, it's wise to replace every 15,000 miles or so

[@jackychan4960]

Good job bro

[@JGHOST-gp3px]

Hey if I don’t have a cap on my pressure valve should I be concerned?

[@arturoperez9742]

How difficult is this? I'm not a mechanic by any means but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. Or should I leave it to a shop?

[@msutton9517]

Arturo Perez I’ve been trying to get this last banjo bolt out for 2 hours

[@oleksandrrishchev2051]

Thanks,very good video ✌👍👍👍

[@thelastmojican4480]

Great video, thank you

[@hitmanw1]

When I open mines my cam follower was broken in pieces and some went inside that hole. Recently owner prob never change that before

[@JHMotorsportsInc]

that is a very common thing we see here at JHM. hopefully there was not too much damage to the camshaft or HPFP!

[@undercoverrt4106]

Hitman Dz did u have a check engine light ?

[@kennys501]

Did you tear the timing cover off and retrieve the pieces? Or did you just put it back together with a new cam follower and is it still running? My cam follower shattered also wondering how far to go down. My pump was not that bad compared to others I seen

[@xxUnknownxSoldierxx]

Question, can you do the HPFP upgrade before doing the Low Pressure (in tank)? I have a feeling I need to replace the Cam follower soon and planning ahead. I was thinking while I was at it I might as well upgrade it. Also appreciate your tutorial on the in tank upgrade!

[@JHMotorsportsInc]

Yes you can! email [e-mail] if you have any questions.

[@MissingWilson]

In the later models do you know where you can get a replacement hose?

[@JHMotorsportsInc]

Shoot us a message to [e-mail] and we can source this part for you.

[@boloyung88]

How do you know if that's doing out?

[@salmanomar97]

I would just replace it every 25k miles. You dont want it to ruin the camshaft, so if you havent done it or dont know when its been done, just replace it if you can.

[@joseplion4827]

Hi, What is the pink liquid you are applying?

[@JHMotorsportsInc]

It is assembly lube

[@kali9395]

@JH Motorsports do you have the link or the part number to the seal you talk about on the video? Since we will be replacing that part is there any other parts you recommend changing? Please let me know along with the part numbers and links to purchase thank you!

[@celica02perronfurioso21]

Thanks for the info u Rock 🤗😉

[@devlad]

Used a magnet and tape, still dropped the damn thing in the engine. Hahaha

[@tonytonez5561]

How do I know if i have the banjo fitting?

[@arturoperez9742]

I know the post is old but might help other people. If your car is 2007 or older you don't. If it's 2006 there's a 50:50 chance depending if you have early vin or late vin.

[@jaahasjaahas8729]

my 2007 doesn't have the bajo fitting.

[@davispaul82]

Can you help me with this fault code. replaces the sensor, voltage on the three terminals check out, but at 1/4 throttle car seems to run ok but halfway to wot car falls on it face. Someone suggested a clogged exhaust system which Ill check tomorrow but I think it might be the transmission although no codes are thrown via Ross_tech besides the one below: 1 Fault Found: 000400 - Fuel Pressure Sensor (G247) P0190 - 001 - Circuit Malfunction Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 01100001 Fault Priority: 0 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 255 Mileage: 200716 km Time Indication: 0 Freeze Frame: RPM: 674 /min Load: 30.6 % Speed: 0.0 km/h Temperature: 103.0°C Temperature: 42.0°C Absolute Pres.: 980.0 mbar Voltage: 13.208 V

thanks!

[@leo4870]

Which sensor is the G247

[@JHMotorsportsInc]

That should be the thrust sensor on the located on the fuel rail on the B7 A4 2.0T. We offer both the early & late versions on our website. early - jhmotorsports.com/fuel-pressure-sensor-high-pressure-or-thrust-sensor-oem-for-b7-rs4-b7-a4-2-0t-up-to-07-early-b7-a4-3-2l.html late - jhmotorsports.com/fuel-pressure-sensor-high-pressure-or-thrust-sensor-bosch-for-b7-a4-2-0t-2007-and-up-late.html

What is this pink oil?
