Excellent video and animation, subscribed!

Thank you, 2008 audi tt FSI 2.0 here, bought it last june and runs greats but did not see any cam followers replaced in service, will be doing this ASAP.

I just did my a few days ago. I bought the car, A4 B7, with 79,000 miles. Was worried about the cam follower, but was happy to find just a little wear, it must have been replaced. I didn't see that info in the carfax though.

Do you have any videos on the Replacement of camshaft and crankshaft sensors for vw mk5 FSI

It's really simple to replace. Make sure you clean the housing where the o-ring from the hpfuel pump goes. Having that not seeded correct can cause that pressure sensor to be thrown too. Audi B7 185k; replaced diverter valve for turbo fault for a peirburg after market. Replaced pcv assembly, and on my third cam follower, usually good for 50-60k miles. The first gen engine isn't flawed just the specs on the first cam followers, they have higher tolerance to wear and tear and should last for 60k before throwing the p0089 fault. I usually change mine when I see that fault or I assume it's bc of that.

great!! HELPS

how do you rotate the cam shaft so the follower sits on the flat side?

Ha ha. I never understood the trend to ask a question as an intro. Good for you to call it out.

Is Audi A6 C6 4F 2.0L TFSI 2008 ... vulnerable to Cam Follower problem?

How can you tell if the problem is with the cam follower? I drive 2011 golf 6 TSI.

Is check/replacement of the cam follower part of any VW scheduled maintenance? I’m looking at picking up an 07 GTI FSI with 149k. Car fax says it’s had suggested maintenance.

I have a Seat cupr mk2 which is a TFSi engine. Does this apply?

I had a 05 mk5 golf gti which was standard and service regularly and i decided to have the cam follower changed because i read some horror stories about it. After 70,000 miles my follower was still in great shape. I had it from new so know it was the original.

Does my audi TTS 2009 2.0 quattro 272bhp (CDLB engine code) need this changing periodically? It has TFSI on the engine cover, read a few different opinions, also if it does will it have the newer HPFP without the dreaded banjo bolt?

Bonjour est-ce que cette pièce est compatible avec la Golf 5 1.6 fsi ?

If the follower is wearing down, the cam lobe is wearing down. I would add that IF the follower is worn down Audi/VW extended the warranty of these parts so check with the dealership to see if it's covered. These parts have all been updated to resist premature wear.

Super scared to look at mine it my ‘07 fsi. Picked it up used with 105,000 on it. Had full service records, over 80 recorded but never says if the follower was replaced. I have been dreaded it and hardly driving it....

Help?2.0 turbo running horrible with raw fuel coming out of the exuast?

Do the cam follower make noise?

Mine is a tfsi .. Kinda confused as you said briefly not a tfsi but I seen you replied to a comment saying to check and replace ... 09 tts ...

Mine failed but when mechanic took out the HPFP, the cam wasn't there anymore.. :|

Hey Matt ...My car is an Audi A6 C6 4F2 2.0L TFSI 2008 ...and my 'HPFP' is a little bit ticking do I have to worry about the Cam Follower for this model? GREAT TUTORIALS THANK YOU.... Cheers.

Quantos km se muda isso de 10.000mil km ou de 20.000mil km?

Does the 1.6 liter SKODA Octavia FSI (2007) have this problem?

The 2.0 fsi (150hp)without the turbo have the same problem ?

anyone knows if I need to replace the cam follower on an Audi a6 3.0 supercharged?

HPFP and cam follower issues exist in the 2014 TSI engine as well. mine was noisy and i replaced it

Hi! Is this same problem with 3.2 fsi? Or only 2 liters engine?

So does my a3 2.0 tsfi Quattro not have this issue? It’s not in the list shown? Thanks anyone

Are the diesel motors affected by this?

Why no TFSI, I had one and inspecting this little shit regularly

Good day my 2007 Golf 5 GTI FSI start easy and idle fine but if you start driving it not going in boost it's not rev over 3000rpm

2.0 FSI BLX (150PS) ohne Turbolader braucht man das auch?

Did it make the car run like crap. Example: loss of power, exhaust is quieter, tapping engine bay

Owning a TSI engine there would be no need to worry about this issue?

Just replaced my cam follower to find it completely worn through, had to pull it off the coils in the hpfp with pliers, the cam doesn't look *too* worn currently but still worried, 130k miles on an 2007 GTI

also found on the SEAT or SKODA with the same engines. If you're going to do a video, do it for the other countries as well, not just for the US

why is TFSI not affected by this? It's the same engine as FSI only with turbo...

Ok ok so I have an 09 cc with 106k miles im pretty sure previous owner didn't do this so I will be checking mines

Im surprised they didn't use a roller follower

That not the main problem with the 2.0 TFSI first gen. The main problem is the shit oil pump which can fail at any time

I'm famous.

A little to late for me 😩🥺

this little guy here 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why not build a follower that has a roller on it....problem solved..... or if those Engineers had any bit of sense they could have done this with an electric fuel pump.... I mean seriously you see thousand horsepower turbo cars all day long that don't have a mechanical fuel pumps.... that is a bit of ignorance to me.... bad engineering...a total fail not to mention when the damage is done it cost up to $1,000 in parts to fix it how stupid... I have one of these cars but it's a Car Lot car so it's going to be fixed back to factory specs but if it were my personal car I would eliminate the mechanical high pressure fuel pump and find a better way around that shoddy engineering..... I mean surely you guys got to agree with that. who pulls their fuel pump off every 10,000 miles or so to check it I'm sure a 50 year old lady wouldn't have a clue to do that....that's what happened to the one I have,an older lady had it...140k miles.....

German engineering is fucking way overrated if you have to do this type of maintenance very frequently.
