Title: OEM HPFP Seal Maintenance/Failure
Post by: Mk5 GTian on March 31, 2013, 08:06:15 pm

Hello guys,

Is there a thread on this, I don't know much about it, and I did use the search engine, but could only find stuff on the failure when internals had been upgraded.

Cheers,

Ian  :happy2:

Hi Ian!

Do you mean the seal between the piston and the wall (internals) or between the external piston (with spring) and the cylinder head of the engine?

The only seal I've heard of people replacing is the one removed to replace the follower (although I never replaced that seal).

Yes I think it's that one Graeme. Did you not bother then?  :mad: :confused:
