What a great resource for those with an FSI!

Wow this is on point. I just put my 08 Passat KOMFORT WAGEN in the shop for the exact problem. However the dealer said that because it was so severe, they also had to replace the cam, timing components and the head. When my pump failed due to the cam follower, parts of the spring had broken off and caused extreme engine damage. It sounded horrible. Thx for posting.

Charles I did mine on my 06 Jetta about a year ago at 235k and man was it bad. New cam and pump went in and what a difference. Still going strong about to break 250k on original engine!

So this is what just broke my camshaft! Thank you

Thanks again Charles. You are such a great guy.

Just blew this and I knew better! So mad at myself... had the follower riding around in the car even. Now I need to rebuild the pump with the upgraded bits cause it wore through the spring retainer into the plunger, cam, and I had a crap load of glitter in the oil for who knows how long.... tragic. Check these things!!!!

Why because you have an upgraded high pressure fuel pump, do you have to change the follower so often?

Thanks

Thanks Humble Mechanic, all great/very helpful videos. my question is: once the cam follower wears through, where do the little metal parts that wore off end up going? the cam follower metal flakes/hpfp spring retainer? where does this stuff go? into the engine? if mine was covered under extended warranty, should I be concerned that I have metal flakes floating around in my engine?

I just picked up an 08 Wolfsburg and never knew this. I'll go and check this tomorrow to make sure it's okay (mine has 108k on it and is stock). I have no CE light and the car pulls quite strong.

Thanks very much for your Top 5 Failures video; it brought me here. I've a 2011 CC 2.0T (standard CC) from the Top 5 Failure video I thought you are talking of ALL 2006-2011 TSI 2.0T engines. @2011 has INDIRECT INJECTION; watching this video you speak of DIRECT INJECTION. Easy enough to believe that the same problem exists for indirect AND direct. Not yet seen in my hand a camshaft, but to look at this and other videos the HPFP cam lobe appears to be a separate part removable from the end of the camshaft (certainly well attached/shrunk and with key, perhaps end keeper (not seen?) ?Can one change camshaft HPFP lobe while camshaft remains?

Mine failed, vw Canada does not have a warranty extension for this issue. The retention nib on the hpfp was starting to get worn through, the camshaft seemed fine so I replaced the pump and the follower. Gunna check on it in 2000 km or so to see if the follower is still in good shape.

I had a came follower that was punched through (2006 A4 2.0T). The dealer has repaired this under extended warranty. What is the risk that metal bits from the failure might cause future problems?

Can you make a video of the cam seal replacement on a tsi? Mine is leaking and I have no idea how to do this job

Great video. I have just bought a gti 06 tfsi. I knew about the common problem and went to replace the cam follower straight away and found my cam follower had broken through.

hey Charles love your vidoes, Im a tech at a shop and a b7 audi came in with a valve cover leak, Mitchell said at was a 6 hour job and a special tool was needed to lock the cams... so they shiped it and i dint get to do the job:(. I have never done a valve cover on one of those... i just want to know if it that is really what haves to be done. if so. i will need to get that tool cause i plan on up graring my own b5 avant for a b7 avant. thank u for all the good content and keep up the good work brotha. 🖒

Is this failure also concerned 1.6 FSI, ('06 Audi A3 1.6 FSI)?? it suddenly does not start up.

great!!!!! thank you!!

I know I may be going out on a limb here, but would you say there is any permanent solution to this cam follower catastrophe? I find that checking my cam follower periodically could cause future damage to the pump bolts by wearing out the threads and removing the bolt from the banjo head fuel line isn't quite fun. I also have been doing some research and I found that there is a "2.0TSI roller cam conversion" for the "FSI"models. Would you say it's any good?

Hello! My car won't start without touching gas for the first time every morning. Starts great after that for the rest of the day. The cam follower was changed. Could it be the hpfp? No errors. Also, no vacuum leaks.

to measure the fuel pressure to check if fuel pump is good is in the HPFP gage?

Thank you good sir

I hear a metallic clicking noise coming out of the "HPFP" is it caused by a bad solenoid or by a worn Cam Follower. AWESOME TUTORIALS CHARLES.

My 2005 golf gti had a power lost problem while driving at 160km/h, I have checked the cam follower and it completely broken, then I changed the cam follower and I still had the power lost problem. After a month I bought a brand new HPFP, when I tried to replace the pump and I found that the cam follower was broken again in only 500km. Finally, I changed the pump and the cam follower but the car still losing power at 180km. Do you think the camshaft need to replace as well?

My 2013 golf R had a fuel pressure code that went away after I replaced the fuel filter. Around 5 days later the light came back on, took it to the dealership same day, had no power suddenly. Turned out the cam follower got jammed in the housing, tore up the cam shaft, cam shaft ate the fuel pump through the spring retainer, and as far down the shaft as it could basically. Luckily I had just gotten the vehicle a couple months prior, and my gf talked me into getting the warranty 😅

Bad dealership though. They knew the follower had a lot of wear when they replaced the intake manifold (runner flap control arm was snapped off, requiring whole manifold to be replaced), and they said nothing about it and did nothing about it. They also didn't even change the oil after they replaced the cam follower housing, fuel pump, and camshaft. They definitely didn't take it apart a bit further to remove the metal scraps that were ground off either.

thanks for the explanation. question: should I lube the outside of the new cam follower in oil, or would you suggest assembly paste? and should the inside of the cam follower (making contact with the HPFP) be dry?

@dylanrowan6626

You can use assembly lube or engine oil for assembly. None of the parts that aren’t visible after installed should ever go in dry. It wouldn’t hurt to lube whole plunger assembly and HPFP O ring that seals into the pump slot.

Hi, cool video very helpful. I recently purchased an Audi a4 2006 2.0T Quattro. The check engine light come on with code P0089. The mechanic who happens to be a german auto specialist at the initial stage said he checked the hpfp and cam follower cam shaft and it looked fine. They replaced the sensor on the hpfp, after a day the light came back on same code. Now he said its that hpfp. I can notice the car does have a little hesitation from idle and if you gently press the accelerator it jumps to second gear. I was told this is normal as its a turbo i dnt notice power reduction the car has power but it does have a slightly louder noise than normal. I am going in next week to replace hpfp and cam follower. What are your thoughts. And also are fsi engines louder i went to audi and test drove a audi a4 2012 and it sounds like my 2006 but a little quieter. Thanks

I have a 2006 Passat with a 3.6 The HPFP runs off a timing chain gear with a cam. I'm getting the typical codes and hearing a noise from the timing chain side. Do you think that gear/cam is the root of the problem? Thanks

It takes 15 minutes to replace, the cam follower was ok (repalced it anyway), the pump just crapped out. If the follower is failing there is much more going on, i.e. junk camshaft. The new followers are titanium, and the aftermarket pumps will kill a stock camshaft, so be careful...

Does the cam follower affect TDI engines?

Hi Humble Mechanic, Just recently relocated to AZ and driving in extremely hot weather (116 degrees). The car started to cut out, but didn't stall several times today. It did this for a few days, and then today, about 10 times. Today was the first day it threw the P0089 engine code. I am wondering if I actually have a problem to be concerned about, or I just shouldn't be driving around in 116 degree temps. Love to hear your thoughts. I just don't want to get stranded. Thanks! (2006 vw Jetta 2.0t)

I took my dad’s 2006 a3 8p that had a p0171 and turned out the cam follower had a hole in it. We dont want to put too much money into it but still love the car. Would you suggest just getting a new follower, hpfp, and cleaning out the timing cover?

It will lose power while accelerating then recovers after a few seconds. Basically scaring the crap out of you at highway speeds. When reading the OBD2 I pulled a P2293 code, P0087 code and a 01038 code. This does not happen a lot, what could this be?

This could be the [fuel control module] located under the rear seat cushion on the in-tank fuel pump. These modules tend to overheat if they are old, heat and a dirty fuel filter can contribute to this problem, as well as leaking or restricted fuel supply lines from the in-tank pump to the filter, or from the filter to the HPFP. You may also have a dirty strainer on the in-tank low pressure pump. After removing the seat cushion and inspecting, if you decide to replace the in tank pump, control module, and filter, I would siphon the tank, put a few gallons of water in the tank so that you have a good amount to flush the crap out. I use a paint mixing bit on a power drill to swirl the water and mild detergent soap inside the tank, siphon to water out and wipe the tank clean, allow it to dry before adding clean premium fuel, and change the fuel filter. The filter has 3 hoses, one hose you will notice a blue ring or tab on the fitting, if you depress that tab (pushing it in)while pulling straight out, the fittings pop right off. For the one fitting on the out side of the filter you would need to release the bracket holding the filter so that you can access the tab, otherwise it's at the top of the fitting and hard to see.

Hey! I have an automatic 2010 VW CC with 108K miles on it. My check engine light recently came on and I got a diagnosis and it coded P2015 "Intake manifold runner position sensor/switch circuit range/performance bank 1". Afterwards, my engine also began to stall and shut off and right before it would shut off the battery icon would pop up on the dash. I replaced the battery and I am still having this issue with the car stalling and shutting off. Sometimes I have to get a jump in order to get it moving, sometimes getting a jump doesn't work at all. Is this a common issue or something that you have seen before? If so how do I go about getting it fixed and about how much do you thing it would cost me?

Dealing with one in my shop now. 225k b7 blown engine. Replaced with salvage engine. One problem after another. Sent us bad engine, then sent us wrong engine code, swapped parts to accommodate. Start it up, chsin slap.... and p0016. Replaced chain, tensioner, etc. Then.....it starts, runs rough and only has 200 psi rail, while asking for 700 at idle. Needless to say idles rough. Low pressure pump in spec at 90 psi. How does the hpfp fail in this case? This engine has a banjo on the low pressure feed and looks about impossible to get off in the audi quattro configuration.

Hi Charles, are you aware of any HP/Mechanical Fuel Pump related issues with mk7.5 GTI? One of the two bolts that hold the HPFP in place on my 2019 GTI has some how disappeared. Gone! I noticed this after the HPFP started making noise. I know these things vibrate a lot, but I am still a bit skeptical that the bolt was able to vibrate loose past the engine cover on it's own. Have you even heard anything like this before? Maybe the dealerships now check the HPFP, and maybe during my 20,000 mile service the tech forgot to put the bolt back? Now I am concerned that the driving done with only a single bolt holding the HPFP in place could have caused damage to the Follower or Cam.
