I wouldn't use that one as the cam surface isn't anti-wear coated...

If you really want to sort this issue out you need to get the H2Sport Fuel Pump Drive Upgrade solution.

Nice one, ive been looking through my reciepts and i have nothing to say this has ever been changed. Do i get vw to do it (as i have 11month warranty left) or do i just order the uprated one and do it myself? As i don't want to void my warranty (although they wouldn't be able to tell i had changed it) or just leave it and if it goes they'll have to cover the cost of the damage it causes?

They were raving about these a while back, but then they ran into cam issues. The in- house mods yo the cam and housing Made up for it though.

This must be more of an issue for remapped cars cause i'm sure mine won't have been changed in the 33k miles it has done.

But seeing as i'm planning on remapping in the next month or so I guess I should get it changed now.

Been around for years.  Its made by INA for H2S.  I can get them from INA.

Follower failures are still fairly rare tbh.

Now that looks interesting.  Im suprised it s the first time Ive seen it!  Would uprated HPFP work fine with these you reckon?

why. Its a solid engine, depends how you push it i suppose. I know i'm pushing the boundaries with mine and it'llnonly be a matter of time before something else goes. The money i have spent on the repair for this was for rods and pistons . Knowing my luck i'll get those sorted and it'll bend a feckin rod  :sad1:

Please correct me if I'm wrong but from what i have read the 3 main causes for excessive wear/ failures on the follower are 
A revision 'a' cam that is worn where the uneven surface will literally eat away at the follower.
Uprated HPFP that put more pressure on the cam and follower
High revs which put more pressure on the cam and follower
