seriously the way I feel atm, I've had enough of it.

Supposed to be going away with work next wednesday until August and NEED the car, but atm I can't even put the ignition on  :sad1:

Typical something like this happens days before I go away.

I know EXACTLY how you feel mate. In a similar situation and it really is a pain.  I know what it's like to feel like your just helpless and you really need to sort something.
 Was going to try this myself but feel so not reluctant now. Update the thread when you sort it mate and good luck. Is it defintely pissing out from the fuel line and not something else you've overlooked?

Done this twice myself and not changed / renewed and washers.  Although a little awkward refitting the pipes I never had any trouble with leaking.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Has anyone changed their follower on an 06. My HPFP has got two metal pipes. The one on right which they all have seems easy to remove but the other looks like a SST needed or something to remove the bolt from the button which goes through the pipe sort of thing. Access looks difficult so I didn't touch it  :confused:

Inspected my cam follower today using this guide and just wanted to say thanks  :happy2:. Without it I wouldn't have had a clue without it.

What's the need for the TDC part and is it neccesary?

Also, how would you do it on a DSG?

TDC is to take the pressure off the piston should the engine be stopped whilst the cam lobe is at the fattest point thus pushing the piston in.

It's not absolutely necessary and more a precautionary measure. I know a couple of people who have done it without setting TDC.
