What sort f price could i be looking at to have the camshaft replaced?
Still get fuelling issues after replacing a perfectly good follower, Thrust sensor and have a horrible feeling it could be the cam.

Sorry I can't help you with the exact cost but IIRC it's around £1000-1500ish.
If your follower was ok when you removed it, the cam should be fine.
Could be the pump?

To be honest mate I'm completely lost......Could be HPFP, LPFP, Camshaft, Fuel Filter.......could be £100 or as you say £1500ish.
Just want a car that drives without issues.......love my GTI but relationship is becoming strained.
-
for £1500 i'd buy an S3 engine for it, and sell all the working bits of your old engine to make up the cost.

That's what I thought....wouldn't pay that to fix an engine when i can get a better one for the same price.

Had some fuelling issues recently which was traced to fuel pump cam follower, the camshaft lobe was badly scored unfortunately which required replacement too. I paid £640 ish for camshaft, cam follower, new DV and oil change at Volkcraft in Exeter.

Cam follower been changed twice in 20k an both times been in pretty good condition, felt the cam surface and felt smooth as a babies......so unlikely that though bracing myself. Booked into the stealers tomorrow as can;t get hold of any decent local tuners/specialists.
Thinking a sensor as the car was perfect again when i popped out to a mates house......once it's warm it seems to go to limp mode so thinking LPFP or even possible the knackered air intake bracket and hose that keeps coming away - would lack of air or very hot air cause limp mode behaviour???
-
2.0TFSI cams will be under 500 notes. Then just the labour to swap em over.

I had intermittant fuelling issues before and it was a faulty in tank pump. someone else had issueson here recently, and his was down to a blocked fuel filter

Did you have the issue where it won't rev over 3k and the fault code says:
004195 - Fuel Pressure Regulation: Control Range Not Reached
P1063 - 002 - Lower Limit Exceeded - Intermittent - MIL ON
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 10100010
Fault Priority: 0
Fault Frequency: 68
Mileage: 130010 km
Time Indication: 0
Date: 2000.00.00
Time: 20:27:06
Freeze Frame:
RPM: 758 /min

Temperature: 23.0°C
Absolute Pres.: 1000.0 mbar
Voltage: 14.097 V
Readiness: 0000 0000
If so then I might get a fuel filter and LPFP first
-
cant remember the fault code, sorry.
The fuel filter is a cheap job to do anyway, will only take you 10mins, worthwhile doing anyway.
Heres a log of mine when the in tank pump went iffy

Looks very similar to mine. Not sure what to do....get an LPFP and fit myself or take it to a garage as it might be HPFP....
-
with it being an intermittant fault, you need to just keep driving about continuously datalogging the lpfp and hpfp.
I paid for a hpfp for no reason whatsoever. bear in mind theyre both ~£160 mark.
The garage wont know whether its the lpfp or the hpfp either, without seeing the logs when it goes iffy.
Like I said, another member had the same issues and it was down to the fuel filter.
I'm just trying to advise you from my mistakes.
-
If you look at my logs, its clear to see the lpfp is struggling, thats what you need to be looking for. it should be running at no less than around 4 bar.
I only found the fauilt by having my laptop plugged in, and driviing around for ages until it reoccured :happy2:

Is that block 231?

Do you have a how to for the low pressure fuel pump?
Might go to TPS and pick one up with a fuel filter
-
Why don't you try the filter first?
Fron memory, Pump is simply pull out pump fuse, start car until it runs out of fuel.
Remove back seat, unplug connector, securing collar spins off, take pump out, keep doors open, and rags down to catch any spillage. Might be worth disconnecting battery as a precaution incase of any sparks.

Well went out for a while and managed to repeat the issue.....the LPFP seems ok - could be reading wrong.
The issue arose towards the end of the log. HeavyD if you can take a look I'd be grateful
Thanks

Well not the fuel filter - changed - ran so much better to start with and then power loss as 3k....
Looks like HPFP :confused:
