Genuine cam follower unavailable

<< < (4/6) > >>

mjmallia:
I did not see any markings on the inside of the INA one, but my genuine one does not appear to have any markings on it that I can see either (I have two old genuine ones from TPS).

Local indi for the INA, this is the only pic I have

lazy:
Ok thanks for the info. The INA one I received had no markings but it also had no box, so even though the supplier confirmed it was INA I was dubious about using it, that's how come I ended up with the other ones.

pudding:
The INA ones I used didn't have any markings from memory, but as stated previously, they are who make them for VW.

Your intake cam has had it.  The irregular scuffing on the cam follower is a big clue to that, along with the rough finish on the lobe itself. Normal follower wear is a small and uniform round patch in the middle that gradually spreads out over time.

mjmallia:
As Pudding says.

Here are my old genuine followers since getting the car in 2017, to show normal wear.

Left: 2017 to 2021
Right 2021 to 2024

pudding:
That looks like normal follower wear  :happy2:
