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! 🚗💡
