VW Golf Mk5 2.0 TDI PD Camshaft Lobe Wear
The high pressure fuel pump camshaft follower on PD (pumpe duse) Golf Mk5 2.0 TDI wears if oil changes are extended. The follower collapses, causing rough running and fuel delivery fault codes. A worn follower caught early needs only follower replacement (£80-150). Advanced wear requires pump and cam lobe inspection.
