Genuine VAG 2.0TFSI EA113 Cam Follower Service Kit

Genuine VAG 2.0 TFSI EA113 Cam Follower Service Kit

The cam follower is a small but critical component that sits between the camshaft and the high-pressure fuel pump on the 2.0 TFSI EA113 engine. Over time, it wears down, and if left unchecked, it can fail completely, allowing the camshaft lobe to grind directly against the fuel pump. The result is expensive damage to the camshaft, fuel pump, and potentially the cylinder head. Regular replacement is the single most important preventative maintenance task for this engine.

This Genuine VAG service kit contains everything you need to carry out the job properly, using OEM parts supplied directly through the official VAG parts network.

What’s Included

• Genuine VAG cam follower (bucket)
• 3 x new fuel pump mounting bolts
• New fuel pump O-ring seal

Using fresh bolts and a new O-ring at the same time as the follower is standard practice. The bolts are torque-to-yield, meaning they stretch slightly on tightening and should not be reused, while a new O-ring ensures a proper seal between the fuel pump and the cylinder head.

Why Regular Replacement Matters

The cam follower is a known wear item on the EA113 2.0 TFSI engine. Most owners and specialists recommend inspecting the follower every 10,000 miles and replacing it before the hardened surface wears through. Catching wear early with a simple kit like this avoids a far more costly repair bill later on.

Important: Always inspect the camshaft lobe at the same time as fitting a new follower. If the lobe shows signs of damage or scoring, the follower alone will not solve the problem and further investigation is required.
