Genuine cam follower unavailable
lazy:
I'm thinking that my follower must have been replaced already, because that follower surely didn't cause the wear to the cam. I'll probably do about 6000 miles in a year so I'll check it next year and see how bad it is. I'm really disappointed about the worn cam, I didn't expect any wear at 75,000 miles. I just hope I don't need to replace the cam anytime soon.

It looks like a follower was worn through, and the pump piston was then hitting the cam and the remains of the follower scratching the cam also. The three grooves align with the piston cap worn flat to me.........I could be wrong
Stage 4
End cap of the piston.....this is a new one
Your cam
A new follower was slapped in and the car sold on most probably.

I've been wanting to do mine again, must be around 50k miles on the current one.
Is this the recommended INA cam follower:

They have another listed, assume only difference is one is packed in oil:

That sounds like the most probable explanation.
I had a look at the end of the pump expecting to see wear, but it must be quite hard as it actually looked like new.

Ye that's the correct one and that is one of the companies I bought off but I used their actual site not eBay. They did send me a Febi one though even though it was supposed to be INA.
The genuine one off Awesome GTI seems a good deal. Originally I ordered one off TPS and it was about £49.
