How to change Fuel Pump Cam Follower on 2.0 TFSi

[Pesky jones]

When changin mine I had a problems with a) banjo bolt veing awkard although once I taped the m8 into a spanner it was easier.

B) reassebmbling the two fuel lines and getting the pump back in. Cant remember specifically what but I think it was getting thr second fuel line (not banjo bolt) back into the pump once pump was in engine.

How do you guys reassemble? Banjo bolt in, second fuel line in, pump in? Or maybe pump in then both fuel lines? Or maybe even one fuel line and pump in then second.fuel line?

Check out YouTube pesky, there are plenty of videos to choose from 

Yeah I followed a guide but it was a ball ache. Thinking about doing it again seeing as it was nearly 10k and I've had a remap recently so can't hurt. Just wondering how others did theirs

I've ordered the part from vw as its only £25 where as online I've seen them for closer to 35 quid, so will be changing it over this week , I've read online to renew the Fuel Pump Sealing O-Ring also (Recommended to be replaced every time fuel pump is removed) , is it necessary to change this ?

[Pesky jones]

I didnt. You migt to for peace of mind.

I recently did mine and managed the banjo.bolt in about two minutes.If yours is axx as well I recomend a quarter inch ratchet about 5 inches long, a two-three inch extension. You go up and undeneath and it doesnt take long. Just put a rag undeneath it all so the banjo bolt doesnt drop.

I didn't replace the seal on mine when we changed it last week, I did buy a spare though just in case for £12.....bleedin ripoff

Will be doing this job on my car soon.  I've just bought it. 05 gti, on 113k and i've no idea if it's ever been done.  Follower and O-ring sounds a good idea!

For the fuel pump cam follower

[r5gtt]

didn't know they did a revised cam follower as I'm sure someone would have made a comment by now.

[Ramigojag]

Fair enough I assumed it may hav been changed after looking st all the different revisions for other components.
