2.0 TFSI Cam Follower Replacement Guide (EA113 Engine)
Easy Cam Follower Replacement for 2.0 TFSI (EA113) Engines
Replacing the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) cam follower on your 2.0 TFSI engine is critical preventative maintenance. A worn follower can lead to severe damage to your camshaft and fuel pump, resulting in costly repairs.
👉 Service Interval:
For preventative care, experts recommend replacing the cam follower every 30,000 km (approx. 20,000 miles) or every other oil change.
🛠️ Tools You'll Need:
- 13mm & 17mm Wrenches
- T30 Torx socket
- Pliers for hose clamps
- Small pick or pointed tool
- Cleaning cloth
🔋 Safety First: Always disconnect the battery before starting. On the Audi A6 C6, the fuel pump primes when the driver's door is opened.
💡 Pro Tips:
- Lubricate the new cam follower with fresh engine oil or assembly lube before installation.
- Lightly oil the new fuel pump seal before fitting it. Handle it gently to prevent damage.
- Be cautious when re-threading the metal fuel line onto the pump. The brass fitting is delicate and can be easily stripped, which could cause a fuel leak.
Drive safe and DIY smart! 🚗💡
