Has anyone tried the aftermarket harder wearing cam followers?  I think it was BDM selling them?  Didnt seem worth it when you can get a Genuine one for 24 quid.
I think the harder coated ones were about £80  :confused:

Plus point would be fit & forget for DIY phobes

Just done this to my "05" reg GTI

Nuts came off fine, changed cam follower even though mine was still in perfect condition, started putting it back together, all seemed well.
Opened and closed driver door a few times, everything seemed ok,
then when I put the ignition on fuel starting pissing everywhere,
seems to be coming from the left pipe nut like its not tight enough but can't get it any tighter, so disassembled it again a few times and then reassemble and still getting the same problem.
30min job my arse, I've been at it since 3pm.
so fuk knows what I'm gonna do now  :fighting:

Should have left it the was it fukin was  :sad1:

is the union cross threaded,  undo the union completely and check the threads, once you have dumped the presure :smiley:

Have you ensured the ball end of the pipe is correctly seated in the union nut before tightening?

not gonna be gorgeous if I have to spend a sh*tload of money to fix this issue all because of a 20quid cam follower.

Like I say I need this sorted ASAP as I need the car next week for going away with work and if I need to order bits or tow it to a garage, I'm fooked!
