Checking and replacing the follower and replacing the timing belt were the first things I did when I bought my 8P S3, just a no brainer and peace of mind 👍
HumbleMechanic did you consider doing the stud conversion? I also had to replace the rubber hose. It had degraded on the inside over time and was causing the car to go into limp mode under load..
I've just fitted this kit to avoid worrying about this potential problem anymore. I'm running a TTE420 will all supporting mods as well: ruclips.net/video/1fSJRMvmPDI/видео.html
Thankfully these high pressure fuel systems are not as complex as some others. Key word is maintenance as usual. Charles, you are the man when it comes to these repairs. Thank you.
Manuel RVS Yup. Especially the earlier FSI 2.0T in my opinion. We have a 2008 Passat and we just absolutely love that car and I have done just basic maintenance and small issue repairs over the course of its life. I do my own belt changes, metal impeller water pump, reseal vacuum pump, check follower once a while and some upgraded ignition parts and it purrs like a kitten. It’s 11 years old at this point and I am planning on keeping it for at least another 5-7 years because no one even offers a good wagon hardly anymore that is affordable and fun to drive. Perhaps a Mercedes wagon next. And I will never buy a Subaru wagon, sorry Subaru.
I used your other video to change out my lpfp and the revised control module WITH the coveted heat sink.. (what a concept!) DAP had the parts for unbelievably cheap. Runs good as new and no more unhappy fuel cutoffs. The community you guys built here is great, keep up the good work
😭😭😭😭 wish I watched this proper the first time, changed my follower years ago and putting the nut on the hard fuel line I stripped the threads and trying to get one is impossible ended up buying a second hand hpfp just for the fitting, never new about or thought about turning the engine to get a flat point on the cam your a legend mate wish you lived next door to me 👍
With regards to the question about rotating the engine to get the cam in the right position, next time you do one of these, can you please update the video with a little clip to show exactly how you rotate the engine. Great information, but would be nice to see exactly how you do it! "19mm socket above the alternator. Always turn clockwise." Cheers!
I don’t trust those followers, they’re a rough bunch. They already know they gonna get inspected. Them and their up to no good cam buddies they ride with.
That exact sensor has failed on my Mk5 GTI in the winter of 2016. After a search on eBay I found out that I had, as mentioned in the video, the old revision, with E, and I ordered the one with K from America, because somehow, no ebay vendors here in Europe had the part. Took 2 weeks to get here, but my engine ran again.
Previous owners had somewhat neglected follower changes on our EOS BPY engine, and there is a new (ish) fuel pump on the engine, but the follower of the same vintage is starting to show some wear and the cam surface shows some wear also. How much wear on the cam fuel pump lobes will fall in the "worn, but acceptable to still operate" zone with follower inspections with each oil change? Based on the pictures of damaged cams I have seen, this appears to be somewhere in the marginally operational (vs obviously fubar) zone.
I just did this like 1k miles ago, I did not have the banjo bolt. I bought my b6 Passat at 93k and replaced the follower at 140k the cam follower really wasn't bad for the mileage on it. I really didn't see it as a maintenance item but now it's gonna be changed at 160k or close to it.
3:44 you were not joking about those parts breaking! I replaced my cam follower and the hose going into the vacuum pump cracked. Then when I went to replace the hose that cracked I bumped the coolant distribution pipe and that broke, coolant went squirting everywhere :(
HumbleMechanic I was really surprised. Maybe because some older lady drove it. Car haven't seen certified service since it had 40k miles. Only service she did was to change oil every 5k miles.
Hello, very helpful video. I have a 2007 VW GTI FSI i have a HPFP internals to the FPP and i came across my cam follower having a hole and im having boost cut outs randomly, i am getting the p0087 and p2293 codes as well, pretty sure my thrust senor is bad but also wanted to know what bigger repair you where talking about if the cam follower has a hole.
I have a 2007 VW 2.0 Turbo. I was told the fuel pump tappet cam follower was worn. We were a 200 mile trip, and started hearing a weird whining sound. Also when the oil was drained it was very thin and had metal flakes in it. What do you think? Thank You. Scott.
Hi!How do you position the cam?How do you adjust it?You said rotate the engine.just saw that it’s rotating but I don’t know how did you rotate it.Thanks for answering!
I seem to have around thrust plug part you mentioned traces of oil and also around the bottom of the fuel pump where the pipes are is the a bad O ring?
My cam follower was worn all the way through on mine. The cam does not look damaged but the fuel pump stud was a little worn. I went ahead and just replaced the follower and it seems to run fine. I didn't have any CELs or issues beforehand and it seems to run fine now. Do you think it actually still needs a new HPFP?
Mr humble mechanic, hey I have an mk6 R and did the follower yesterday at 6:00 there's a small slit gap near where the follower seats forwards the left. Is that opening normal? I literally thought my HPFP chunked a piece off of it
Awesome video Charles. I need to replace the Thrust sensor only as the black little nipple on the sensor broke off. Do I still need to relieve the fuel pressure or is it just a take off and put back on type deal ? Cheers
Just replaced the HPFP/Cam Follower on my Fahrenheit GTI(Seen you just got one recently, nice 🤘) tonight with the help of this vid. Much appreciated brother! Didnt realize I had to buy a thrust sensor seperately till I got to that point in the video. HPFP was factory original, I can't reuse the original sensor on a newer Pump right? Gotta be an updated sensor?
Love this Mk5 series. I have a Mk5 gli with 170k miles and I'm about to do most of these replacements soon and I'll be referring to your videos. Also, are you goi g to be doing a timing belt/water pump replacement video? That's the only repair I'm a little worried about doing on my own. Thanks!
Hi Charles, Big fan. Here's a question for ya regarding my 08 golf gti mk5 hard start issue. 1. Car is parked indoors. First start in the morning, no problem. 2. When driven and parked under hot sun(hot weather), many cranks before it finally starts. The hotter the weather, the harder to start. 3. After the hard start, driven a little bit and parked for an hour or two, hard start returns. Do you know what could be the issue? Lpfp had been replaced. Starter relay been replaced. Lpfp primes. It's been frustrating both for me and my neighbourhood mechanic. Your opinions is very much needed. Thank you very much for your time.
Nice video, like always. Off the topic question, now when you are not employed in dealership who do you spend time? Fixing cars on side or just making videos?
Humble, I have this same motor and it is clattering like it has a cam chain flopping around in the housing . I have read it is common to make clatter under a few different parts failing. I just watched this video and pulled the follower it looks very clean and well kept I was wondering what else could be making this noise on this type of motor I am not really interested in chasing parts and replacing them if i can find an experienced vet to help in the diagnosis process
Sounds like it's a faulty timing chain tensioner on the back or right side of the engine. The tensioner is known to fail and cause a rattling noise, with catastrophic engine failure if not fixed in time.
Hey Charles I was wondering what you me t when a bigger repair is necessary is the follower is worn through because mine was and I replaced but I’m still having idle pulsating
Hi charles, I need to replace my hpfp as the bottom hard line brass fitting is damaged and I don’t think you buy it separately. The problem is all the hpfps I can find have the newer style bamboo fitting and not the older banjo bolt like mine. Can you swap this part over from the old pump to make it work? I don’t honestly know what to do to get it working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Your channel is awesome
If the cam is very worn has the oil filter done it's job and protected the engine from all the shavings. This is a question that has bothered me for years. Can some oil filter systems cope with metal in the oil?
The manufacturers of the filters keep the data about the performance of their filters TOP SECRET. They won't tell you anything about the filters except that they meet a certain specification which usually involves particles larger than 5 microns and a single pass through the filter or a short cycle. How much of the sub 5 micron size metal particles that are trapped is a mystery. Large particles can get stuck in oil passages or galleys and never reach the filter.
Hello, When appears these codes, what happen with the engine? does not start? Does it lose power? Or rpm? And how is your driving, does it make the acceleration slow? Best regards.
Is FUEL smell in oil normal at CDHB TFSI engine? Should I change this as preventative maintenance? There is no fauly code but fuel smell at oil and high oil consumption. Need your urgent help.
The thrust sensor link is no good. I just bought a 2008 Wolfsburg Jetta and I'd like to replace the cam follower(preventative maintenance). The Jetta has 68,000 miles. Is there a kit with new bolts, HPFP gasket and the follower? Also the thrust thingy. Any help would be great.
For anybody else looking here, the torque wrench extension Charles refers to when tightening things back up is called a crow's foot (or crowfoot). A crow's foot would also work with the thrust sensor.
Im confused about one thing, I read that this engine has vvt on the intake but the whole variable timing part/variator is mounted on the exhaust cam. How does that work , am i missing something really obvious?
So I just had a HPFP put on in a shop that claims German repair. 2007 vw 3.6 4motion awd. New Hitachi fuel pump. Does it need a new sensor as you did in this video? They say they tested pressure on both sides and it is the same and that the new pump must be bad? HELP!
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, please, what else can i do.
Hey man. My pump was leaking oil where it joins the engine. I removed it, replaced the cam follower, rubber seal and the 3 bolts, and it keeps leaking. Any suggestions?
Hi sir I'll got problem my ask regarding Audi A3 Can't fund regulator pressure part them, n has read scanner is mist fire D cylinder 2 or 3 plus,given reading but the main read is regulator ?
Love your channel! I've got a 2012 Audi S4 that died three times on my Sunday... Both the center instrument cluster display and the mmi display went black, then a few seconds later the engine went to idle and the dsg went into neutral. The check engine light came on and the car is showing a "P12A4 AUDI Fuel Rail Pump Control Valve Stuck Closed" code. each time I was able to shut the car down and immediately restart the car... Got it home (20 miles) by keeping the revs up above 2k. Any help is appreciated... Looking for ideas as to where to start looking...
Good video, I had the follower and pump codes come up on a 1.6 fsi mk5 golf, bfm engine code, p2293 fuel pressure regulator valve and p000A camshaft postponer bank 1 intake, so I had a hole through the follower and the end of the spring was very worn on the fuel pump, I replaced with new follower and a second hand pump, but after a test drive I am still getting the same codes and engine it spluttering, any ideas if this means my cam is gone? I just brought the car and it looks like it had a very new pump on it already but was well worn at the spring, any advice you can offer many thanks!
Sorry if this is a stupid question: how do I rotate the engine's camshaft? do I reach down and rotate the crank? If so, which direction does it go, clockwise?
hey man. I'm getting these codes on my MK5 GTI 2.0T DSG STOCK BWA. Engine light is on so scanned and came up with 2 pending codes: P0171 System too Lean Bank 1 and P0441 EVAP System incorrect purge flow.. My car seems to be revving itself on idle slightly, especially in neutral. I'm thinking change the pcv valve and cam follower and do a change of spark plugs. Already done the oil change. My GTI also been drinking 1L oil every month..
Hey Charles, this is kind of a noob question, but I need to swap the bamboo fitting to the brass banjo fitting, however I am not sure which way is to loosen it. I have already kinda stripped the bamboo fitting and am scared to attempt again. Thanks and hope to hear from you!

The community you guys built here is great, keep up the good work
Thank you so much 💙
I love the detail you give including the torque specs. Great video.
Thanks so much
How do you turn it to get the flat side? Crank engine over? Great videos I have learned so much from you. Thank yiu
AWESOME ! Thank you for saving me $195 from the local Stealership. Very precise with lots of details. Keep those videos coming Dude.
You should do a sagging headliner diy
Right lol more like any interior cloth with adhesives
😭😭😭😭 wish I watched this proper the first time, changed my follower years ago and putting the nut on the hard fuel line I stripped the threads and trying to get one is impossible ended up buying a second hand hpfp just for the fitting, never new about or thought about turning the engine to get a flat point on the cam your a legend mate wish you lived next door to me 👍
Thanks!
🙏 thank you.
“ this one’s pretty broken so it came off nice and easy” I think that’s about the best you can hope for as a Volkswagen mechanic😭
Hahah
With regards to the question about rotating the engine to get the cam in the right position, next time you do one of these, can you please update the video with a little clip to show exactly how you rotate the engine. Great information, but would be nice to see exactly how you do it!
"19mm socket above the alternator. Always turn clockwise."
Cheers!
how did u do it
Always a fun job to do. I never thought about the follower being a maintenance item but good call.
Yeah it makes sense to just keep an eye on it. Way cheaper to replace the follower than the cam
I don’t trust those followers, they’re a rough bunch. They already know they gonna get inspected. Them and their up to no good cam buddies they ride with.
HumbleMechanic
I don’t have one, but would it help any to polish the weewee out of the face of the (new) follower?
The best explanation and procedure I've seen on doing this job. Bravo.
Thanks so much

Fun to watch as always, Charles. Good stuff. 😎
Its pleasure to watch. Thanks.
Thank you for explaining the lobe cam setting.
I have a mk5 Jetta FSI 2.0T and i'm about this do my first ever HPFP and cam follower replacement. thanks fot he tips!
AWESOME instructions, Charles,,as ever, Thank you so much for your kind effort,,,please keep posting,,,🙂👍
Just replaced mine, it all went smooth and easy! Thanks!
Awesome
The only thing missing in this video is "boats and...". Great tutorial.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time with us. I really enjoy these videos you produce.
Great videos, as always. Question, does the cam follower need to be inspected / replaced on a MK6 GTI?
I don't think so, I believe the follower issue was mostly prevalent on the early fsi engines
Previous owners had somewhat neglected follower changes on our EOS BPY engine, and there is a new (ish) fuel pump on the engine, but the follower of the same vintage is starting to show some wear and the cam surface shows some wear also. How much wear on the cam fuel pump lobes will fall in the "worn, but acceptable to still operate" zone with follower inspections with each oil change? Based on the pictures of damaged cams I have seen, this appears to be somewhere in the marginally operational (vs obviously fubar) zone.
I disconnected the high flow fuel pump like you did in the video at the 3:00 minute mark but my car did not start after that
How are you rotating the engine while inspecting the cam lobes?
Keir Briscoe turning from crank pulley
Thanks Charles, Two clicks of the calibrated elbow. Best torque wrench when next to impossible to use a torque wrench.
NICE! HAHAHHA
I just did this like 1k miles ago, I did not have the banjo bolt. I bought my b6 Passat at 93k and replaced the follower at 140k the cam follower really wasn't bad for the mileage on it. I really didn't see it as a maintenance item but now it's gonna be changed at 160k or close to it.

A buddy that’s a Honda tech called me Friday same thing happened to him
I replaced mine at 127k miles. It was never replaced before. Cam follower looked really good with very slight wear, that was almost unnoticeable.
WOW that is rare
HumbleMechanic I was really surprised. Maybe because some older lady drove it. Car haven't seen certified service since it had 40k miles. Only service she did was to change oil every 5k miles.
Nice video love the mk5 series
Does the fuel regulator sit on top of the pump?
Can that be unscrewed and cleaned or replaced, keeping the old fuel pump?
Hello, very helpful video. I have a 2007 VW GTI FSI i have a HPFP internals to the FPP and i came across my cam follower having a hole and im having boost cut outs randomly, i am getting the p0087 and p2293 codes as well, pretty sure my thrust senor is bad but also wanted to know what bigger repair you where talking about if the cam follower has a hole.
How do u rotate the cam ? To make sure it’s on flat surface
Hope after 2 years you figured out you can turn the crank
Can someone share this please? First time replacing cam follower
On the side of the motor. Use a socket wrench and turn it at the main pulley. Sometimes you can get to it under the hood or by removing the wheel
Pulley on the side of the motor with a socket wrench
I have a 2007 VW 2.0 Turbo. I was told the fuel pump tappet cam follower was worn. We were a 200 mile trip, and started hearing a weird whining sound. Also when the oil was drained it was very thin and had metal flakes in it. What do you think? Thank You. Scott.
Is there anyway to replace the fuel pressure regulator sensor on the pump or does it come as 1 unit?
Hi!How do you position the cam?How do you adjust it?You said rotate the engine.just saw that it’s rotating but I don’t know how did you rotate it.Thanks for answering!
Usually by rotating the crankshaft clockwise
How did you turn the camshaft by hand? (6:03)
I turn the crank which will turn the cam
@@HumbleMechanic sorry for the layman question. how to turn the cam and in which direction?
I seem to have around thrust plug part you mentioned traces of oil and also around the bottom of the fuel pump where the pipes are is the a bad O ring?
after you turned the cam,do you rotate the engine on timing point, or start engine from that point?
My cam follower was worn all the way through on mine. The cam does not look damaged but the fuel pump stud was a little worn. I went ahead and just replaced the follower and it seems to run fine. I didn't have any CELs or issues beforehand and it seems to run fine now. Do you think it actually still needs a new HPFP?
I asked this myself but I installed a new cam follower and works good
I had the same issue after previous owner didn't keep on top of this. 3 years later, can you remember did the car keep running good? Thanks
Great video as always Charles!
great video. cool hot wheel collection
Mr humble mechanic, hey I have an mk6 R and did the follower yesterday at 6:00 there's a small slit gap near where the follower seats forwards the left. Is that opening normal? I literally thought my HPFP chunked a piece off of it
Where can i get one of those orange vw badges in the background by your hot wheels for my fahrenheit?
Awesome video Charles.
I need to replace the Thrust sensor only as the black little nipple on the sensor broke off. Do I still need to relieve the fuel pressure or is it just a take off and put back on type deal ?
Cheers
Yep, you will still get HP fuel out of the thrust sensor
Just replaced the HPFP/Cam Follower on my Fahrenheit GTI(Seen you just got one recently, nice 🤘) tonight with the help of this vid. Much appreciated brother! Didnt realize I had to buy a thrust sensor seperately till I got to that point in the video. HPFP was factory original, I can't reuse the original sensor on a newer Pump right? Gotta be an updated sensor?
So what do you do when you pull out your cam follower and it's a nice hole in it? Besides replacing the cam follower?
Woww Exelent Video. 😃👍🚘
Is this still current on the part ending in K or is there a newer revision?
Love this Mk5 series. I have a Mk5 gli with 170k miles and I'm about to do most of these replacements soon and I'll be referring to your videos. Also, are you goi g to be doing a timing belt/water pump replacement video? That's the only repair I'm a little worried about doing on my own.
Thanks!
Boy she’s rough. Glad to see she’s getting some much overdue love. Great car for you brother.
How did you rotate the cam so the flat part came out?
Nice video. 👍 Does all FSI engines have this cam follower and how often should it be changed? I have a 2004 Golf 1,6 FSI.
Hi Charles,

Nice video, like always. Off the topic question, now when you are not employed in dealership who do you spend time?
Fixing cars on side or just making videos?
Is this the same cam follower for 1.6 fsi or different ?
Is this a common problem on the Audi A4 2.0 BUL engine as well? I read that they changed some parts, like the camlobe, which stopped this problem?
Very detailed and good quality video. I am definitely a subscriber now!

That I don’t know. May be similar
I kno this is kinda off topic charles but have you seen the scoda Octavia on the car throttle channel, its the 1.9 diesel
Thanks for posting
hi can you show me and hear what the sound is from the 1.2tsi cam follower does a good (new one) make a ticking sound? and how much

If the cam is very worn has the oil filter done it's job and protected the engine from all the shavings. This is a question that has bothered me for years. Can some oil filter systems cope with metal in the oil?
Andrew Thompson the purpose of all oil filters are primarily to collect metal shavings that collect in the oil as wear happens.
superXwhiteXninja but then you get stories of engines being destroyed by the smallest amount of contamination. I think filters can bypass.
The manufacturers of the filters keep the data about the performance of their filters TOP SECRET. They won't tell you anything about the filters except that they meet a certain specification which usually involves particles larger than 5 microns and a single pass through the filter or a short cycle. How much of the sub 5 micron size metal particles that are trapped is a mystery. Large particles can get stuck in oil passages or galleys and never reach the filter.
Great video. Should the cam be in the wrong position, do you turn the crankshaft bolt clockwise with a socket?
Clockwise. Almost every engine rotates clockwise and you should (almost) always turn it clockwise
@@HumbleMechanic the only engine to turn counterclockwise I know so far,is my 1962 cub cadet garden tractor with kohler engine...lol
Hello, When appears these codes, what happen with the engine? does not start? Does it lose power? Or rpm? And how is your driving, does it make the acceleration slow? Best regards.

Hey man. My pump was leaking oil where it joins the engine. I removed it, replaced the cam follower, rubber seal and the 3 bolts, and it keeps leaking. Any suggestions?
I wish the important questions got answered. mine is the metal gasket.
Apologies if this has been asked, can I just lubricate the new follower with oil or does it have to be engine assembly lube?
That’s totally fine!

Weird. Let me ask my Audi dude
Good video, I had the follower and pump codes come up on a 1.6 fsi mk5 golf, bfm engine code, p2293 fuel pressure regulator valve and p000A camshaft postponer bank 1 intake, so I had a hole through the follower and the end of the spring was very worn on the fuel pump,
I replaced with new follower and a second hand pump, but after a test drive I am still getting the same codes and engine it spluttering, any ideas if this means my cam is gone?
I just brought the car and it looks like it had a very new pump on it already but was well worn at the spring, any advice you can offer many thanks!
Do you have to bleed the fuel system after doing this?
Sorry if this is a stupid question: how do I rotate the engine's camshaft? do I reach down and rotate the crank? If so, which direction does it go, clockwise?
That’s how i do it. Clockwise for sure.
Those 3 bolts needed to be replaced?
How did you rotate the cam?
By turning the crankshaft with a 19 mm socket
Thanks mate great video
hey man. I'm getting these codes on my MK5 GTI 2.0T DSG STOCK BWA. Engine light is on so scanned and came up with 2 pending codes: P0171 System too Lean Bank 1 and P0441 EVAP System incorrect purge flow.. My car seems to be revving itself on idle slightly, especially in neutral. I'm thinking change the pcv valve and cam follower and do a change of spark plugs. Already done the oil change. My GTI also been drinking 1L oil every month..
Check the plastic "T" fitting with the check valve near the driver side of the intake manifold. That is a common breaking part.
@@HumbleMechanic Hey thanks man.. been watching your vids for a while. Do you have a part number to which you've described?
And here I thought he was doing a collab with visio racer... Good info contained within nontheless
Hi. I am interesed to find an camshaft follower for wv.Touran 1,6 FSI 2004. Can you please give an link with the compatibile part? Thank you.
Hey Charles, this is kind of a noob question, but I need to swap the bamboo fitting to the brass banjo fitting, however I am not sure which way is to loosen it. I have already kinda stripped the bamboo fitting and am scared to attempt again. Thanks and hope to hear from you!
That bolt is awful. It’s a standard lefty loosey bolt
If there was no pressure left in the system, and the cam follower smells like gas, should I replace the HPFP?
where are the scrapings coming from exactly ? i heard because of scrapings from this pomp injectors gets damaged... please respond
