Unfortunately it would seem that it has had a new follower shoved in and sold quick.

Are you in a situation to be without the car as driving it isn't a good idea
Repair is going to be costly, its probably going to reach 4 figures.

With regards to internals I would know, I have only gained my knowlage from what I've seen on here over the years. I would imagine a replacement HPFP maybe advised as the piston having direct contact with the cam could have cause stress on the HPFP, that's only a theory though.

New cam shaft is about 300 quid.

Can you DIY?

neilneddy:
Hi v4rley fortunately I can keep the car on the drive as using a company vehicle just want to make sure it is right. I will look at coatings for HPFP any advantage in going loba over standard?

Rich83 any idea on best place for camshaft or is it VW direct? My only saving grace is a have a friend who is a hugely experienced mechanic so labour cost would be low, so really just parts.

Thanks to all so far for your assistance.

Well that's fortunate that you can leave it off the road and have a mechanic friend  :notworthy:

Loba would be a good choice if looking to modify to stage 2 just depends on your finances and if you wanted to ensure everying was ok firstly.

Your best place for new parts will be VW or TPS.
