[@krisanderson5383]

Thanks for the video! It was a big help. Probably saved me about $300 bucks. The follower was ready to be replaced after about 40,000 miles. Originally it failed at about 81,000 miles with catastrophic damage, but was covered under warranty. This time I caught it at the right time. Most of the black coating was worn off except around the edges, but no apparent damage. Getting access to the Banjo bolt fuel line was the biggest challenge and took about a half hour to get off, but reinstalled in minutes. My 2006 GTI is stock and I don't drive it hard. As it happened, I did not put on the stud kit due to clearance issues. I couldn't get the fuel pump back on without pushing hoses and lines, and didn't feel comfortable forcing anything. In retrospect I could have removed the brass fuel fitting to the pump to get the clearance and then reinstalled it after mounting the pump. I was pressed for time then. Maybe next time, if I still have the car. All in all a great learning experience though. Kris

[@ucefkh]

Wow man you were different back 8 years epic work as usual

[@ScottishLad01]

Couldn't of asked for a clearer explanation. Well done

[@edsparkable]

Thank you for reminding me why after I bought the new cam follower that I bring this car into my local shop

[@timschultz7755]

I have a 2007 A4 2.0t. I found that using a 1/4" ratchet to a 12" extension with a u-joint to the 8mm triple square was the easiest. I couldn't get my stubby 1/4" ratchet with my hand in there like the video. Also doing it this way I didn't need to remove the PCV tube. Once it was loose I used a magnet tool to keep it from falling into the engine bay.

[@whatsshaken]

Could it be done this way without removing the schrader valve too?

[@kimberlyandersonamft3031]

Just got an '07 Passat 2.0T. I'm not sure exactly which engine it has, but I will find out ASAP. I do like the ease of the HPFP removal to inspect that cam follower. This would be a couple hour job it seems the first time, then it would be much easier once you figured out that stubby 17 is where it's at. Well done video. Thanks for posting. You're now on my list.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

glad to help thanks for watching

[@kimberlyandersonamft3031]

Gonna do this today. Thanks for the parts!

[@rootsdat]

Is there a washer with the banjo bolt or no? I just finally removed it after it was stripped by a previous owner of the vehicle. Boy was it a pig to get out. I removed it with tiny vise grips. Im just worried it i dropped a washer. Any help would be appriciated. Thank you.

[@kimberlyandersonamft3031]

Most banjo bolts have a washer. I do not remember specifically if this one had a washer or not.

Seems easy enough. Nice DIY. I'll be purchasing a 2006 A3 with the 2.0T FSI engine will be doing this IMMEDIATELY.

[@noahmacdonald3822]

Hey great video. I recently checked my cam follower but when I put everything back together I had a large leak spraying from the banjo bolt. There is a copper washer with the banjo bolt, should that be replaced, or is there something else that would cause a leak?

[@jayghost1482]

Did you ever figure it out. I had same problem.

[@noahmacdonald3822]

@@jayghost1482 the copper washer was not supposed to be there

[@BenState]

Old vid I know, but the banjo bolt is best accessed from below, with the wobble and extensions required to a 8 square, its very easy without additional removal of items.

I’m just about to do this job and I am wondering if the engine needs to be in Top dead center position? You didn’t touch on this in the video so I just want to be safe before I replace my fuel pump. Thanks!

2018 Atlas - EPC with CEL flashing, slow crank, rough idle, cylinders 1-3 misfire, STRONG fuel smell in crankcase and cabin. Could the pump and/or follower be the reason for this failure? Or maybe the pressure regulator? THANKS! GREAT VIDEO!

[@tunkhannock_autotech]

You should add in your instructions that on a 2005-2008 B7 A4 2.0T the coolant hard pipe needs the two bolts removed from the intake and the triple square from the fuel line in order to sneak the HPFP onto the studs.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

I know this video is 4 years old, but I just replaced my HPFP on my mkv GTI because the top sensor was broken. And I followed all the steps, but my car was still idling rough and had the same p2294 code. Any advice, does it need to run longer to even out?

Hi, I would like to know if the cam follower is still an issue with the latest Golf 7.5 R. Is it still something to check often? Thanks in advance.

[@DeepwaterJohn]

I believe that with the TSI they updated it with an actual moving wheel on the follower to avoid issues like this.

[@rileychetty8332]

is there supposed to be fuel that comes out of the banjo bolt? or is my pressure relieve valve not functioning properly ?

[@bellolukmon1809]

Great video, i have a question if you can help. i have VW 2013 passat cc, i drove it for long time while check oil light is on and i had to change crankshaft, bearing shaft and sort, after the engine is fixed, the check oil light keeps blinking repeatedly, i changed the oil pump, still the same thing,the engine is TSI 2.0 TSI, please, what else can i do.

[@sumduude2938]

Hi, Paul, Do I need a torque wrench for this at any point? I watched another video on replacing the pump and he used a torque wrench for the t30s and everything else I think. Also, how will I know if the cam is damaged? Thanks!

[@vindieu]

Yeah it's 9.5 Nm torque. And the follower is damaged if the black part has reduced too much. Completely dead if you see a convex hole in it.

[@awakening_bryan]

What if I stripped the triple square screw? Any way I can find that screw? Help please!

[@dq2273]

You shouldn't be touching cars if you've stripped the bolt

[@bishmas]

Is changing the fuel pump o-ring essential? I have just bought the cam follower tappet on its own and finding the o-ring seal as a single item is proving difficult.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

EnglishIsALie Replacing it is up to you. As far as finding it we have links to the seal on the cam follower page to try to make this as easy as possible to find. Did you purchase the cam follower from us? Here is the seal deutscheautoparts.com/wht005184-fsi-hpfp-seal.html

[@bishmas]

I got it elsewhere because I live in Scotland. I have found the seal on a few American sites but can't justify the shipping costs if it isn't absolutely essential to replace.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

EnglishIsALie We understand. International shipping doesn't always make sense. You should be able to reuse the old one but it may leak.

[@bishmas]

What's the worse case scenario if it does leak?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

You will have an oil leak.

[@usabiz2650]

Question please; cam follower should replace for the 2009 VW TSI engine? or TSI engine should do some other for fuel pump every 20,000 or 40,000 miles?

[@442caleb]

TSI doesn't have one of thsese fuel pumps, only fsi

[@oppanheimer]

TSI fuel pump has roller cam follower, no maintenance.

[@jose15238]

If i replace the cam follower every 15k can my camshaft be damage or my fuel pump? or will they only be damage if they are broken ? Thank you

[@Deutscheautoparts]

The original camshafts were updated because there were some issues with them. With that said changing the cam follower often will help lengthen the life of your cam and potentially prevent any damage at all.

[@jose15238]

Thank you

[@JW-bc4uq]

Deutsche Auto Parts- Your Source for Everything VW and Audi Do you have a video about a FSI vehicle camshaft inspection and replacement?

[@JW-bc4uq]

Johnnie Wong is it damaged only if metal falls into the engine...?

[@whatsshaken]

Whats to prevent the whole stud from coming out, next change, with the Nyloc coated nuts gripping the stud? Unless the studs are put in with MORE torque than the recommended 8Nm. If the smooth center of the stud were squared or knurled, pliers seem to just spin around the shaft.

[@techguy1678]

How good is your aftermarket cam follower? Is it wise to go with an updated dealer part of would an aftermarket suffice? I definitely like the stud conversation idea, that seems to have simplified the process somewhat.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

We offer 2 different ones but the cam follower included with our stud kit is the OEM one.

do you guys have a stud kit (longer stud) for folks that converted to the roller cam follower conversion kits?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Mike Redpath Thanks for the order we appreciate it. No real tips other than make sure you are in the triple square banjo bolt really well. Stripping the bolt wouldnt be fun.

[@SystemUser76]

+Deutsche Auto Parts All done. If there's one thing I could add it would be... STUCK A TSHIRT RAG UNDER NEATH BANJO BOLT WHEN TAKING OFF AND ON. LOST IT BOTH TIMES. Other than that not bad. Took my time and made sure I watched the video a few times, followed it and went smooth. Thank you. I think I had almost 100k on mine and I'm not joking. It didn't look bad. Coating was gone but expected that. The head was solid and nothing missing. The gasket was heat stressed so glad I ordered that too.

[@kevnkaygregory]

Hey got a quick question, I removed the union from the bottom of the HPFP that joins the flexible fuel line and in doing so think I might have dropped a crush washer or something into the engine compartment. I wasn't sure, so I reattached it and now have a fuel leak coming from that union. Does anyone know if there is indeed a washer that goes between the union and the HPFP, thanks.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

kg*2 The VW Catalog does no show any washer there. You may not have it tightened down all the way. Hope this helps

I opened mine to check it and when I put it back I got a misfire on cylinder 2 it was fine before I checked the cam follower. Does the high pressure fuel pump need bleeding or what ? Air on the pump maybe ?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Julian Ponce No you will not need to bleed it. It sounds like your misfire is not likely related to the HPFP or cam follower. Your misfire is likely to be related to something else.

I'm not sure if it's made for the VW 2.0T FSI engine or not but I see Cam Followers with a roller on the end that meets against the Cam, So maybe less Ware & Tare on the Cam , If I can find that type of Cam Follower for the VW FSI 2.0T would you recommend it ? Part# HITACHI FUP3058

[@derickbeisley2587]

I replaced my fuel pump and cam follower with parts supplied by your store. When I did the job I noticed the cam was a little grooved, not horrible very mild. I understand there are chances of possible camshaft failure but is it possible because of how mild the grooves were, that the camshaft would last for a bit of time with care?

[@UMRider]

Does the engine need to be TDC before doing this? That's what Pelican Parts says to do anyway. I've never done that.

[@greasystrangler6250]

Doesn't need to be, but the pump is probably less compressed at that point. With the factory bolts, they might not be long enough (I bet they actually are), but with the stud kit, you're probably fine.

[@bulamalaya]

Looks like I'm gonna have to do the same- go disassemble for a look see in my Audi 2.0T FSI.

[@daviscc65]

Ok so I saw another guy say the banjo bolt is a must replace. Humble mech. Why? If I’m not replacing the whole pump and resuming original stuff. Thanks.

What if your stock hpfp doesn’t have a shrader valve or inlet? The new hpfp that I bought from ecs tuning has the inlet but I don’t actually have a schrader valve to swap over because the original pump did not come with one stock. Do I just buy a new valve and put it on? I don’t think you can just leave that open.

[@chrisrodriguez8305]

Is it possible for the schrader valve to be on so tight that it feels like it'll strip ? I was trying to do mine and didn't feel comfortable with how tight it was so I left it alone. I'm gonna go ahead and order a spare in case it does but, if it does strip how would I get it off ?

But the check engine light come on intermittently. I do not feel any loss of power or hesitation. the car runs very well apart from a diesel like sound. My mechanic told me this noise is normal for direct injection engines such as my audi fsi. The car does not shake on idle nor while driving high speeds. I do notice that the HPFP does make noise especially when the engine is cold. But I also inspected the pump, and cam follower as well as the cam shaft the look like new. So I just can't figure why this light keeps coming back on. I am also changing my N80 valve because I do notice ticking noise coming from he old one. Any suggestions>

​@@Deutscheautoparts hey I changed my cam follower and fuel pressure sensor and since I dine that I get fuel codes pop up and I notice ain't got a lot of fuel coming from the release valve when I pulled it back off to check things out what do you think

[@jhirsch123]

FYI... If you have the later revision with the hose, instead of the banjo bolt, you don't need to remove the hose in order to replace the cam follower! I wish I had known that before spending my weekend screwing with that god awful spring clip!

[@tiagosa1773]

I have the banjo bolt which means I will have to take it off even if im just replacing cam follower?

[@christiancerroni15]

@jhirsch123 you sir, have saved a few random fellows' weekend. Thanks!!!

[@BirdFromYakiVegas]

Yes I just got to replace in that part and the new PVC valve is so crispy and new I can't get that thing to click on for nothing..... Doesn't leak but those clips are just pure crap can't put the other part back on because I had to break the clip to get the other one off 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ejkk9513]

What do you think about the 3.2 v6 a4..? I'm kindve worried now because i bought the car at 90k and I'm at 104k and I do the mantience when it's required at our shop and I believe the high pressure fuel pump has never been touched.. I've heard if they fail, they can damage the cam shaft and possibly the engine. have you ever changed one on the v6 or heard them failing often?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+Ejmin Khosrovian This is the pump youre talking about but as far as we know they dont have the same issues with cam follower wear like the 2.0t FSI did. It is still possible for the pump itself to go bad. deutscheautoparts.com/make-model-year/audi/a4/b7-2005-2008/engine/v-6-3-2-liter-audi/repair/fuel/06e-127-025-ab.html

[@ejkk9513]

+Deutsche Auto Parts thanks for replying and yup that's it and its located between the V of the engine on the drivers side head. Does it help the cam follower that I change the oil with the exact spec oil Audi recommends and the fact the inside of my engine looks brand new and clean?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Ejmin Khosrovian yes using the proper oil is important

[@ejkk9513]

Ok, thanks I'll still take a look at it when I take the lower and upper intake out to clean the carbon deposits. Do you guys sell a catch can for the 3.2 v6 or are they all the same?

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Ejmin Khosrovian We are sorry no catch cans for 3.2

[@ripperx444]

Do the new EA888 engines have cam follower issues as well?

[@theelectronicsguy391]

Does this affect the Skoda 1.8 TSI engines? it's has the 06H109311B part

[@HuBrIsRaDiO]

How would one know if the problem was the cam follower or the fuel pump or both? I have both the p0087 and p2293 codes with hard starts and cold stalls.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+HuBrIsRaDiO The only way to know for sure would be to check it. Take a look here for all the details. shopdap.com/vw-audi-2-0t-fsi-cam-follower-and-camshaft-wear-problems/

[@HuBrIsRaDiO]

+Deutsche Auto Parts okay. So, I took it all apart and the cam follower is wore completely through. It's was practically stuck on the fuel pump spring. The end of the plunger that is supposed to be connect to the spring was completely broke. My next question is how to tell how much is to much wear on the camshaft lobe. It doesn't look to bad but there is some scoring. I was sure how to turn the shaft with out cranking it, so I took a play off the right side to get a side view of the entire shaft. I can tell if it needs replacing.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

HuBrIsRaDiO If the damage was that bad you should replace all the components. You can try to put a new pump and follower and see how it goes but this is not advisable. The bad cam could cause further damage. .

[@HuBrIsRaDiO]

Thank you

[@MagneticLeadTV]

Hey guys... just noticed your cam follower was completely worn and the center was missing in this video. Did you guys do anything to remove the metal that is now floating around in the engine or cam area? I need to know because I just checked my CF and it looks just like yours.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

That was just one we had as an example. If yours looked like that you would need a cam and fuel pump likely. In regards to getting metal out you can always add a magnetic drain plug. deutscheautoparts.com/06f-198-908.html

[@MagneticLeadTV]

Hey guys... where can I find a replacement o-ring that you replaced on the HPFP? Can i get one locally? Need my car back on the road today.

+Deutsche Auto Parts Picked one up at the dealer. Thanks for the reply! Hoping the metal doesn't ruin my engine.

[@siriusblack4604]

Hi Excellent video Just wondering cause I'm not get power on lower revs Could this be down to worn cam follower The car is a Audi 2.0 Tfsi 06 plate Remapped to 265 bhp On 60k but Dont think its been changed Thxs 😁

[@Deutscheautoparts]

sirius black Its possible this is your issue. You should start by checking the cam follower.

[@siriusblack4604]

Deutsche Auto Parts Thxs for reply Just bought cam follower & o- ring for hpfp Getting it changed tomorrow Let u no how I get on 😁

[@siriusblack4604]

Got the cam follower change Massive improvement but not 100% But now the only code coming up is P0171. system Too lean bank 1

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak

[@siriusblack4604]

I reset the code it hasn't come back yet but I'm going to get a smoke test done end of the month Let you know how I get on Thanks 👍

Hi. Do you have a video showing the signs of a bad fuel pump ?

Can this kit be placed on a 2012 Golf R with an APR HPFP?

[@largol33t1]

Is this also the same for the 2016 GTI? I plan to check mine every 10-11 months since so many owners are having problems with this. Why do the people at VW not fix this? It affected the MKVI and MKV models too! Just lazy of them to not redesign it.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+largol33t1 this only applies to FSI engines

[@markb3756]

@@Deutscheautoparts Hi. I know this is an old video but does this apply to the 2.0 tsi as well?

[@Matty2023]

Hi what sort of millage should this follower be checked or changed thanks

[@Deutscheautoparts]

+Matty2023 around 10k is when you should check it.

[@himnosespiritualesiece3883]

What happened with the old cam follower that was gone? Where is the part? in the engine or in the high pressure fuel pump?

[@jaquez0529]

Hey Paul! Or anyone on the team. I have a code P0089 and the symptoms I see is slight hesitation from a stop. Should I replace the whole pump or just the cam or could it be something else ? Thanks in advance !!!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

You will need to check out the parts to see whats up. Take a look at this article shopdap.com/vw-audi-2-0t-fsi-cam-follower-and-camshaft-wear-problems/

Goodmorning i have a Golf Gti from the year 2009 type 6 with a TSI motor Do i have the same problem with this motor

+frits duwel No the TSI engines don't have this issue

[@shartne]

Where do I buy that cam pump seal or O ring at?

[@The_Boi-yu4df]

Got a question or two I'm hoping someone who's done this can answer. When I was trying to remove the HPFP to do this, I was able to get just about everything disconnected and bleed the schrader valve but I couldn't get the 3 bolts holding it to unscrew, I tried a regular screw driver, electronic screw driver, and a regular drill with no budge, not sure if whoever worked on it last over tightened it or if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not too sure how else to get them off. Also, is it necessary to remove the rubber line and hardline to do this? I heard it was possible to move the pump enough to replace the follower but I have some doubts on whether that's safe to do or not, I'd figure it wouldn't be a good idea. Anyone else who's done this deal with that or know what to do? I've got a spare set of bolts but I've read somewhere they might not fit with the HPFP so I'd rather use them as a last resort.

[@marcfenneuff]

Thanks for the vid, got my kit today. Got the torque values handy?

[@daviscc65]

Marc Fenneuff the humble mechanic has a video with the torque values.
