I have seen 6 outright failures this year.  Neil M (member on here) being 2 of those.

For the peace of mind it is a no brainer.

KPM racing who run 8 cars in the VW Cup change after every meeting now, as cam follower failure wrote several engines off this season.

I think one of the issues was that some of the Racingline/KPM cars were/are using KMD fuel pump internals.  BDM had over 10 failures from the KMD internals seizing.  Can do inlet cams upside down using my feet now!

As my car is in for the repairs to the front grill tomorrow I am having the cam follower replaced at the same time.
I am interested to see its condition after 83k and almost 7 years! (assuming it hasnt been changed, the serv history suggests it hasnt)

Is it an easy job to do? My car will be hitting 80k soon so better get this done as a precaution.

Don't suppose you or somebody could do a how to guide for us all???!!

There is a guide in here somewhere.. Iirc how easy it is depends on the age of the car, the later cars had a revision of the pipe work iirc making them easier to change

The only thing that worries me is depressuring the system fully, don't fancy fuel in ma face... or a monumental fuel leak...
