2.0 TFSI (EA113): the high pressure pump cam follower wears through

expensive

The same layout as in the naturally aspirated FSI, only in the turbocharged 2.0: the high pressure fuel pump is driven by the camshaft through a flat cam follower that relies on an oil film. The follower can wear through, and if it holes, it takes the camshaft lobe with it: the repair then includes the cylinder head. While driving you get hesitation under acceleration, stalling, and a low fuel pressure fault code. The follower can be removed and judged by eye, and that takes about ten minutes.

What to check

  • Ask when the cam follower was last inspected: this is routine maintenance on this engine
  • Ask for an invoice for the replacement; the follower sits under the high pressure pump and takes ten minutes to remove
  • On the test drive under load watch for hesitation and power dropouts

Information, not an expert opinion

We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.

  • A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
  • A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
  • You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
