Well that is a good question. In the video I show you how VW has listed the parts incorrectly for the BYD 230 PS engine. The intercooler is the same on 200 + 230 but ETKA says 230 has the small seal on intercooler join while 200 has the big seal - impossible for both to be right and measuring confirms its the big seal needed so 230 diagram has them the wrong way around (so yes, same parts).
Good advice mate. I’ve changed loads of these in my ownership of the MK5. The only thing I do differently is I always put the cam follower into the HPFP first and make sure it’s well oiled. I guess your coming to the end of this project now? Would love to see more of it. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Can fully vouch for this video 👍 just done the cam follower in about 45 mins as not a mechanic but providing you have the right tools it's pretty straight forward thanks to the video (apart from the bit he skips pushing it back on 😂 but was pretty simple after taking a look) top guy!👌👍
I sold my Mk5 GTI and got into a Mk7.5 Sportwagen. The extra space (for the dog), DSG (for the fiance), and AWD (for the Canadian winter) are awesome to have and it really isn't much slower with the faster shifts. But there was something special about that Mk5, so fun to throw into turns and it pulled pretty hard once I went stage 2. Cam follower was one of the first things I did when I got the car and one of my first DIYs. I've driven a Mk7 GTI and obviously it's a nicer car than both my wagon and the old GTI, but there wasn't the same raw fun about it and it's not quite as functional as the wagon. I love the wagon, it's a perfect daily for us but watching this Mk5 series is reminding me how much fun I had with that 08 GTI and still got 90% of the functionality of the new AWD wagon. Next car I'm going to try to ignore functionality and find something fun for summer drives, auto-x and the rare track day, currently looking at something like an MX-5, E82 128i, Mk2 GTI/Corrado, or a Boxster/Cayman. Great stuff as always.
This is a perfect example of how people can save a lot of money and potential time off the road, by having a basic mechanical understanding and a limited number of tools. And 12 minutes and £22 to save all the destruction that would happen if you ignored it, is an easy decision to make. And the more of these cars that can be saved when the alternative would be a Kenwood Chef is a no brainier. Keep up the great work Andrew.
Another great video, ordered the parts from LLL Parts who also show the VW parts diagrams, noticed I had oil on the undertray right under the intercooler. Why don't you replace the seal on the other side of the intercooler?
I do the boost hose seals throughout the whole system on my Passat TDI 1.9 AWX 130ps every few years. The bottom ones always seem to have weeped oil, not much, and you can never quite stop it.
Converted mine to a stud that alloy strips out really easily,did. It as I stripped the hard fuel line nut into the pump and you can’t buy the brass union separately it’s a whole new pump,I turn the engine to when I do this job to get a low point on the cam so your not fighting the pump on
Not only the follower cam side wears out but the inside as well on the hpfp shaft end. if there is slight wear on the shaft, it affects pressure and performance as well.
Hi Kenneth, the car has loads of history (the box it's in was in the first video). It's received all the regular servicing things but not the preventative maintenance bits. I've done a few cambelts on these and they are OK but it's not due for a while yet, definitely not this side of autumn.
Subscribed fan, first found your channel with the mk4 vs Mk5 R32 video as I had a mk4 r32. The scirooco r vs golf r vid was great, as i now own a scirooco R. And after buying the cam follower few months ago, fitted the cam follower yesterday real time ( paused a few times😂) watching this guilde. The car is on 75k miles and i would say the wear was exactly the same amount. Watch the new videos each week 👍
Mine was dry inside but did have some old evidence of misting on the exterior so it's clearly getting past the seal. It's quite low mileage so hopefully not losing as much oil into turbo circuit as it could be 🤞🏻
I saw there is a kit with follower and seal but it was a lot more expensive just to get a seal so I thought I’d chance it and look out for leaks afterwards. But appreciate its best to replace it to avoid doing the job twice
Regarding the camp follower, i changed it at 70,000. And there was nothing wrong with it I've since asked VW parts department regarding how frequently, you should change the cam follow, according to them there is no advisory. So what is it, if you tune the car is it likely to wear out far a quicker??
I recently changed mine for first time in 70k-12years. It was fine, replaced with OEM from stealers. VW parts guy called it an “little expensive bucket”.
When one has the intercooler pipes off I agree with inspecting the lugs on the pipe fittings. In my experience these can (and do) wear over time and can allow the pipe to pop out of the fitting. If the lugs have any wear at all then replace the pipe.
I made the mistake of removing the rubber hose under the HPFP when i did this job, it was hard to get off and even harder to get back on 😂 Top tip Don’t touch the rubber fuel hose 👍🏻😂
Just did my oil, oil filter and oil change as per your vids, its a great help, going to check my cam follower tomorrow! Keep up the great vids...ive had my Mk5 Gti for 5 days now lol
@@Ellis_B thanks man, so much info on these are on the internet! Bought some tires i need to fit....and then looks like the previous owner broke the intake that sits again the honey comb grill, so need to find that
Thanks Andrew. I had no idea where the cam follower lived in the motor. Now I do. Your knowledge is magnificent. If I lived in the UK I would like you to save my MKV. The main dealers here in Oz. And I guess the UK really have costs to pay out. Pass onto customer. Cheers from me.
Your enjoying this car dude, it’s great when you get a car that doesn’t cost you a fortune that gives you this type of pleasure. Great videos, keep them coming.
Another great video... maybe when mentioning subscribing and liking the videos ask these VW lovers to tell their friends too! I Appreciate So much great info and lots of effort 👍
Amazing content as ever Andrew. Especially that cam follower replacement. I remember having that done on my MK5 GTi and it added a few hundard to the bill when having my timing belt done at the time. Never realised it was so simple to do. Currently looking for a Red Eddy so if I do get one, I will be sure to do that job straight away along with the other bits you have already done, seals, PCV etc. Looking forward to the next video. By the way, would you mind sharing the website that you use for part numbers in your next video please? I personally would find that super useful going forward and I am sure others would too :)
Nice work again 😎 in 2015 the top of the cam follower on my mates mk5 wore right through... new fuel pump required... 18 months later after having belt, water pump and timing chain replaced the oil pump chain snapped. At the time we were lead to believe the sprocket bolt sheared but i now reckon it was a seized balance shaft that caused the failure. Needless to say his engine was rebuilt 🙃 balance shaft delete kits are available, maybe worthwhile if you are on the preventative maintenance train 😎👍
@@volkswizard it's great watching these videos, very interesting to see how it's all done. Although "foolproof" I probably am never going to attempt as I will just break stuff......Will stick to fixing broken people 😃
lucky a new boost pipe and o rings not that pricey this side. mine had a bad dent in the metal part so it needed to be replaced. now it never pops off.
I no it sounds silly but when I had mine I put the s3 intercooler as an upgrade as well as pipes. They don’t clip in they have push over pipes with jubilee clips so will never leak.
I saw that in another video but TBH done loads and never had to and I think it just complicates things for people who aren't that technical who would otherwise have a go. I might just have been lucky with my lobes though :)
Perfect timing for this video coming out, had my cam follower kit arrive in the post 2 days ago. Going to replace in the next couple of days. Im new to the mk5 platform with my own Edition 30, are there any other small maintenance bits like this that you can do to potentially save you thousands in the long run?
Well spotted, I usually get a few jobs out of each pair. Also they don't melt with solvents etc. Here's the link to the ones I bought; www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225319699851?var=524301684647
Other preventative measures might be cutting back the wheel arch felt , which retains moisture. ( mk 5 r32...assuming same as gti) . Dsg service. Lot of garages don't know how to do this....not sure if you've done a vid on that?
Good advice sir. I’ve done loads of DSG oil changes but working on a ramp with a VWG fill tool I didn’t think it would relevant to a driveway DIYer but might have no choice on wife’s TT so will film that 👍
Good point, yes indeed. Bought a 6R from OCD owner and he gave me the old in the little tub you get with the VW part. Same for Scirocco R, Audi TTS, B7 A4 with 2.0 TFSI, Octavia VRS Mk2 (Prefacelift), Audi A3 2.0T FSI, Audi S3 8P 265 PS, Mk2 Leon Cupra, Audi TT Mk2 2.0 TFSI (pre facelift) and probably quite a few more.

Well said Shaun and thanks. Very important to start preserving car as the number of nice driving ICE is going down now rapidly
you have a lot of oil around sump pan under car and on offside boot gator
One important point to note, 2005 models have a hard line with a triple square banjo bolt rather than the rubber hose which is a *massive* PITA.
I heard that on a video while researching, quickly checked mine and PHEW!
Mine has the banjo and it’s really not fun! 🤣😅
Another great video, ordered the parts from LLL Parts who also show the VW parts diagrams, noticed I had oil on the undertray right under the intercooler. Why don't you replace the seal on the other side of the intercooler?
I did the other side when I did the thermostat / crank sensor as it was split
I do the boost hose seals throughout the whole system on my Passat TDI 1.9 AWX 130ps every few years. The bottom ones always seem to have weeped oil, not much, and you can never quite stop it.
Great tutorial very clear and informative. Although I wish the link to the parts were added to the description.

Great. Video and a good guide. Did you prime the fuel aswell after you installed the cam follower and put it all back together
do the boost pipe seals need doing on the edition 35 too
Hi, why don't you change the CAM belt and water pump as well ? How to tell its time to change if you had just bought the car without any history ?
Hi Kenneth, the car has loads of history (the box it's in was in the first video). It's received all the regular servicing things but not the preventative maintenance bits. I've done a few cambelts on these and they are OK but it's not due for a while yet, definitely not this side of autumn.

Great content. Do you have a link for purchasing the boost hose o-rings?
Look forward to your video next week where the intercool hose is dripping oil again. 😂 I hate the thing.
Mine was dry inside but did have some old evidence of misting on the exterior so it's clearly getting past the seal. It's quite low mileage so hopefully not losing as much oil into turbo circuit as it could be 🤞🏻
@@volkswizard ah mines more of a tap right now.
Should always replace the seal on the fuel pump aswell when changing the cam follower

How much was it from VW? £50?

Flywheel?
engine mounts?
Thanks for the replies I've changed the clutch and flywheel and the engine mounts are fine still can't get to the bottom of it really strange
How about the dog bone mount in the middle
Am I the only person with a banjo bolt instead of a flexible rubber hose?
Mine is an 05 and has the banjo bolt too.
U could turn engine by hand if needed, too rotate the camshaft and the lobe soe it would be easier with the spring tension of hpfp
