Man! it really annoyed me about the fuel pressure bleeding part not shown because of the safety concerns. While I can appreciate the concern but one can get killed changing oil on the car...smh. I don't own a VW but in my opinion that would've made this video very helpful to someone looking to do the job, while you can still throw a warning to be careful. DiagnoseDan showed how to do it in one of his videos if I recall correctly.

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey BuddysAdventures, sorry to hear you feel that way. I guess your best bet would be to watch Dan's video for the procedure then. Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

[@patricklines8872]

I'd say its actually more dangerous to not show it. He'll end up with someone just going ham and winging it instead. Its not a difficult or exceedingly dangerous procedure to do. Better option would have been a disclaimer such as, "Someone told me I'm a professional parts changing monkey. However, I don't believe you have the same skills. So only follow what I'm doing at your own risk. I'm not liable or responsible for you learning the hard way." By not providing the information on how to do the job safely but letting you know that it is possible to do, Id say he is more liable.

That cam is trashed, you're not going to get significant wear on the follower and not trash the lobe also, the close up you showed gives clear evidence that the lobe is wiped. I deal with high pressure diesel common rail and have seen what happens. Sadly you're gonna have to replace the cam 🙁 and you run the risk of trashing the follower on the newer pump if you run it against a trashed cam lobe. 🤔

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey Angel, thanks for watching! :) Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

[@ge1852]

Wished you showed us a real close-up of the follower but that thing looks absolutely trashed, hole in it even? The camshaft is junk as well, if I'm not mistaken the BPY had the Rev A cam with a coating on the surface from the factory. Anyway, it's scrap either way with all that wear and pitting, the follower should be able to spin on the cam and only have minor and even wear in the middle. But usually the fault would be low fuel pressure when the lobes wear down, so that's interesting. Just a worn follower would still yield the same relative displacement in the pump, that's why it's so easy to miss before it's too late.

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey G E, join in for part 2, i'll show it in there :) Interesting about the cam Rev A. I'm really not looking forward to probably throwing a cam in here.... Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

[@ge1852]

@@GoTechTrainingWell don't quote me on that rev. A part, I have no experience with the BPY hands on. Just did my research before I bought a BUL, and I have confirmed that one has the rev. B cam. It'll be interesting to see what it all looks like up close, and if you have an borescope have a look at the intake valves while you're at it.

[@parochial2356]

I am going to call the camshaft as toast. For a customer, a new/used good HP pump on that shaft is a recipe for a come back.

I know very little about these GDI systems. My 7 month ownership of a 2020 Toyota RAV 4 has shown the vehicle to be very impressive in economy and power. One interesting thing. When you put the key (mine is the base model, not the pushbutton model) in the ign switch, before you turn it to on, you can hear the pump run for 2 seconds. A good idea I say. The high press pump is a little, but not much, noisy. The engine takes 0W-16 oil. For now I'm using Toyota oil and filter for the warranty.

[@GoTechTraining]

That was a nice "block window" someone created there, Mike! Nice work getting that one going again. That cam didn't look too good, but hopefully that original pump does the trick. I know the feeling of not wanting to dig deep into your own vehicles. Had that same feeling when I saw all the metal chunks on the rear differential magnet in my '07 Silverado a little over a year ago ... Must be the moon phase. I've been working on my own stuff quite often lately, too! Hub bearings in my '07 Silverado (For the 2nd time! Talk about purchases we regret! Biggest lemon I've ever owned), then I had to rebuild the original power steering pump in my '86 Grand Marquis (34 years, 268k miles! Only rebuilt due to leaks), & replace all the lines. Rockauto sent me the wrong return line, so I attempted to heat and bend the metal portion - big fail! It kinked & twisted, and caused a big restriction. Ended up cutting it off, and double-clamping a hose. Always something! Anyway, looking forward to next Thursday. 👍🍻

[@martijn8337]

Thanks Mike!

[@spelunkerd]

Fun video to watch, though now you have me wondering how the dealership pros safely decompress the high pressure line. With it driven off the camshaft, you can't just turn it off with the scan tool, pull the fuse, or unplug the high pressure pump. Even with the tank pump turned off that high pressure pump will mount significant pressure. Maybe one could find a fuel injector test procedure in the scan tool to spray fuel into cylinders with engine off, decompressing the line into a cylinder, hopefully not enough volume to hydrolock. Without the factory scan tool I wonder if people use a dangerous work around, which responsible authors don't want to show....

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey Spelunkerd, thanks for watching! I'm not going to get into the procedure, but it is possible to bleed off the high pressure without a factory scanner :) Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

[@MrBuddysAdventures]

I can't imagine it being that complicated or 'dangerous' if you take basic precautions. I would guess you'd start up the car and disable the primary fuel pump until the car shuts off. Check the pressure using the scan tool to be certain. Then drape a rag etc and crack the fuel bolt loose.

[@mike15101]

Hey my mk5 GLI has that same weird chatter that you said was turbo noise.. what exactly is that? Audi tech here and I’ve never heard the sound before @gotech

[@bbkmm1]

How about checking the fuel pressure sensor for accurate reporting?

[@parochial2356]

Good point. I am guessing that Mike does not have a high [enough] fuel pressure gauge to test the "secondary" [high side] pressure. This would be my next step after confirming the "delivery" [low side] pressure was in spec.

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey Traveler X, that's correct. I don't have a gauge capable of reading that high. Plus, the TSB and noise from the HPP area was enough to lead me into that path. Seeing wear on the follower and a questionable cam was evidence enough. I suppose it's possible that even with a perfect cam/follower/pump that the sensor could still be bad...but my guts leaning towards pressure creation instead of pressure reading.

[@tssci6774]

A lot of GDI engines have problems. It is called fuel dilution and abrasive, chain wearing soot from incomplete combustion of large fuel droplets. It is so bad the OEMs and oil companies have known for 6 years and only now have come out with API SP and GF-6 with many new tests for timing chain wear.

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey Brian, I knew there had to be a reason for this uptick in chain issues. Interesting that they are making new standards for oil. I'll have to check that out, thanks! Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

[@ahwee77329]

for the low pressure side. if you have idle 50 psi and wide open throttle 72 psi. can you conclude the low pressure side pump is okay. or do i need to removed the line and see how much volume it came out. because i think you can have good psi and low volume. and also when you said the hot soak. after 10 minutes the pressure will rises, due to temperature in the engine bay. can you explain a little bit, i am kinda lost.thank you!!

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey Hua Jack, if there was a volume issue it would result in a lower pressure...unless there was a severe restriction. As far as the pressure rising, the fuel rail is sealed off when the car is shut off. The fuel is cooler than the engine, it came from the gas tank. When fuel increases in temperature, due to the hot engine, it increases in pressure. Therefore we see an increase in pressure on our sensor. Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

[@blockbertus]

@@GoTechTraining Hey Mike, I think you are in bigger trouble. The german "Die Autodoktoren" recently had a Seat TDI where the high pressure pump had the same problem. VW quoted the owner ~8000 Euro because they wanted to rip out and replace EVERYTHING related to fuel (incl. tank, injectors, lines and rails). It's a TDI but it seems your car uses similar, if not the same technology. Part 1 (introduction): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXSbnnWXZ7Sibbc Part 2 (where they show the culprit, starting at 05:40): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnnOiaNtn7-srrc They ended up cleaning and backflushing everything including wiping the inside of the tank with some magnets. They also installed an additional fuel line which was wrapped around a huge magnet + installed an additional filter after they were done. They recently removed that fuel line and magnet and showed how much it still catched of that fine "sweet" metal bits and pieces. The car still runs fine. It just recently stopped because they got a bad rubber fuel line which was new, meant for fuel but failed just within weeks. Apart from that all is good. If your engine is setup remotely similar to this one, it won't be the actual camshaft but more like an additional kinda "cam" which is in a separate housing. Hopefully your injectors are not damaged. I'm not sure if the Autodoktoren replaced the injectors in this car or not. But I'm pretty sure they did - also as a safty measure. Good luck!

[@zuperzleeper]

If you guys ever get this code and it's not the hpfp and cam combo.....try the sensor on the rail if that's not it. The sensor on the hpfp is going to be the culprit.

[@LarryMendizabal]

Hi, Can you explain what you mean a little better? There's a sensor that connects to the HPFP and then a sensor that connects directly to the rail correct? Which one are you referring to? If I get this code because the fuel pressure difference before it starts bucking is around 20 bar (290 psi), would that point more to camshaft than to sensor being the culprit? I already put new HPFP in, new fuel pressure regulator valve P/N: 06D-130-757-C, known good ignition coils, and it starts misfiring and hesitating hard once engine is warm and I'm accelerating on highway at about 70 mph. I can't get more than 91 bar (1319 psi) and the commanded pressure peaks at 109 bar (1580 psi) for me. Sometimes it will drop from the 91 bar down to 75 bar and that's when I get spike readings of 30-31 bar difference. I'm thinking camshaft but would try a sensor or something to do with timing as a last resort.

[@zuperzleeper]

@LarryMendizabal There's a sensor that measures the hp coming from the hpfp, if that sensor is faulty you'd get the symptoms you're describing. Was the pump oem?

[@LarryMendizabal]

Pump is a hitachi unit from fcp euro. Which sensor are you referring to that measures the hp [pressure] coming from the hpfp? Do you have a part number? Is it the one directly connected to the hpfp or the one on the fuel rail?@@zuperzleeper

Premiere is just a notification of when a video is released... with the ability of having a live chat, with which the channel creator can then interact with viewers (when the video goes live). Premiere or not, you would still have to wait a week to see part 2... if 1 video per week is the norm for whatever channel you are watching. Watching a premiere (with chat) is better, because the video creator is there to answer questions. Most channels that post videos, either don't reply to any comments, or only reply now & then. The only downside to chat questions, is when there are too many viewers & questions... but you can always place a super chat (a money donation) question. The more money you donate, the longer the question stays visible in the chat window). On a channel like this one, super chat wouldn't be necessary, as most who watch are fellow technicians. Meaning that questions will be answered by not only the host, but also by many knowledgeable peers.
