I still need to do mine. Was supposed to do it last weekend.

Have you got the link to the guide you followed and how easy/hard was it?

Once we'd wrestled off the engine cover, 15-20 mins I guess.

The car should run the same, Its not something that will effect the running unless the follower fails.....Then it gets expensive!

Should be a serviceable item, I replaced mine on my 40K Golf R within the First Week of ownership. Annoyed the hell out of me driving the car and not knowing if it had ever been replaced.
