Hardened Steel Cam Follower OE / OEM-Grade for EA113 2.0T FSI / TFSI High Pressure Fuel Pump

High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) Cam Follower with OEM reference number 06D-109-309-C is a verified direct-fit replacement for the EA113 2.0T FSI engine found in various Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. This critical component sits on the intake camshaft lobe that drives the piston in the high-pressure fuel pump.

The cam follower (also known as a tappet) transmits the camshaft's rotational movement into linear force to power the high-pressure fuel pump. It is a common wear item on 2.0T FSI engines and requires regular inspection and replacement to prevent catastrophic engine damage.

• Škoda - Octavia II

The cam follower is a known weak point on 2.0T FSI engines. The factory solution was to increase the hardening of the cam lobe - and as of 2006, all EA113 engines received harder cam lobes. However, the follower remains a wear item.

• The follower base wears through, creating a hole
• The HPFP plunger makes direct contact with the camshaft lobe
• Metal particles enter the cylinder head, damaging moving parts
• Fuel system pressure drops, causing fuel starvation and stalling

Pro Tip: FCP Euro recommends using Liqui Moly MoS2 Anti-Friction Engine Treatment to form a friction-reducing film on sliding surfaces, which can help prolong the life of these components.

• T30 Torx bit for fuel pump mounting bolts
• New fuel pump sealing O-ring (recommended every time pump is removed)
• Torque wrench
• Clean shop rags

(Reference VW/Audi workshop manual for complete steps):

1. Safety first - allow engine to cool completely before starting work
2. Relieve fuel system pressure (consult workshop manual for procedure)
3. Remove the high-pressure fuel pump from the cylinder head
4. Visually inspect the base surface of the old cam follower for wear
5. Carefully remove the old cam follower from its bore
6. Thoroughly clean the follower bore and surrounding area
7. Inspect the camshaft lobe for scoring or damage
8. Install the new cam follower into the bore
9. Install a new fuel pump sealing O-ring (recommended)
10. Reinstall the high-pressure fuel pump with new T30 Torx bolts (recommended)
11. Torque all bolts to manufacturer specification
12. Start engine and check for fuel leaks
