Oil catch system service

From time to time there is a need in emptying the oil catch system tank, when the condensate level is reaches max level.

The service itself is pretty easy. All that is needed, is to empty the tank by unscrewing the drain bolt at it's bottom

This smells not good. :-)

The tank returned into it's place

HPFP cam follower replacement

Usually I replace the 2.0 TFSI engine HPFP(High Pressure Fuel Pump) cam follower each 20 thousand kilometers.
It's a small but important part, that needed to be replaced at the time. If it breакs, this will lead to the serious engine damage and expensive repair costs. See this as a warning.

Following photos of the replaced cam follower (original part number 06D109309C).





Camshaft is OK
This work should be performed by a qualified mechanic using an appropriate tools
