Checked with the vw-Dealer who's been responsible for all the stamps in the history-book from new, mine hasn't had this replaced it's at 80k now
should I get this done ASAP ?, it's AXX engine code, if so whats reasonable been quoted £66 by an indy...

The part is £22 and its about 30mins work for someone that's done it before.

I wouldnt worry about rushing out to do it unless your car is modified. I am still running the same follower for 30k at stage 2+.

What are the typical symptoms that indicate that the cam followe may need changing?

Usually none till fueling is compromised and then you may get fuel cuts or dashboard cel. By that time the follower may well be punched through damaging the cam lobe, fuel pump plunger and putting shards into the engine oil channels.

Personally I would have a look and change it at that mileage as the wear issue isn't confined to mapped cars.

Sorry to bring up a old thread
But I had a read is it the cam that will fail or the follower?

The cam follower fails - it wears through. If this occurs there will then be damage to the cam lobe.

This may help you ordering the item:-

The dealer sells the part as  - Tappet  - part number 06D 109 309 C. Full Retail Price £29.87 inc vat

It's good practice to replace the seal at the same time

O-Ring - part number WHT 005 184 Full Retail Price £11.11

Did this today thanks for the guide.

I didn't do TDC. Checked, double checked and checked everything again.

Still concerned I haven't done it right but it starts and drives well with no fuel leaking from the pump.

Car is an ed30 with 74k, stage 1 for 6k. Follower is showing wear and beginning to crack in the coating, coating is also worn off in centre.

Fingers crossed car continues to perform well.

TDC is not an absolute necessity. It's just advised to enable easy refitting without putting pressure on the piston as it is refitted.

I inspected mine last Thursday and it was wearing normally and all seemed fine :happy2:. I'm going to change it anyway for peace of mind, a new one is on order and should be picked up this week to be done with its next service.

Done this this morning. Just under 80k on the clock and only small wear but changed it and the 'O' ring as well.
Thanks for the guide, pictures make a big difference when tackling these sort of things.  :happy2:
