They do wear out, and only 66k on the car.

The follower rides on the intake camshaft lobe for the high pressure fuel pump.

Sorry, is this the 2.0T? Costly fix?

Re: Chris was right about the Cam Follower...

Only if you don't change the follower in time because the camshaft wears out. Replacing the follower is cheap and quite easy

Re: Chris was right about the Cam Follower...

This is really dependent on how well the car is maintained, and how much poeer you are making. I.changed mine at 62k and i was stage 2 for about 20k and my follower was fine almost no concavity to ot what so ever.

The car is making stock power and I have no idea what the previous owners service history has been like. When you have no idea that this happens, most people find out the hard way when the pump has completely destroyed the cam and there are parts of fuel pump in the head. But Chris just mentioning it saved me a chunk of $$$.
