i had done 60k on mine mapped for most of em with no damage at all. Does any one know of any in the uk that have had a hole in the follower? i think most if not all is usa based due to the sh1t fuel they stick in the car

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

There is a few on the early cars, but VW revised the follower at some stage.  :happy2:

I have replaced 2 shafts/pumps due to the follower wearing through, both on stock motors.

Great t-shirt.  Ive seen a few followers with holes in.  Not a nice sight and will leave your wallet much lighter!

Why due to poor fuel?  I thought the cam follower wear was oil side?

I have replaced 3 for people, and I have put a straight edge across and mic'd each one, and no discernible wear found.
