- Engine / equipment
- 2.0 TFSI EA113 (Golf V GTI, A3/S3 8P, A4 B7, TT 8J, Leon Cupra, Octavia RS, Passat B6, Eos)
- Period mentioned
- 2004–2013
- Symptoms
- Power loss or hesitation at full load, fuel pressure codes, high-pressure pump noise; fuel smell in the oil and a rising level if the pump leaks; misfires.
- Possible cause described
- A follower between the camshaft and the high-pressure fuel pump wears through and damages the cam lobe and the pump; Audi hardened the cam in 2006. The pump can leak fuel into the oil. There is also carbon build-up on the intake valves and coil pack failures.
- Check for the garage
- Check the high-pressure pump follower at every service, smell the oil and watch its level, and read fuel pressure with a diagnostic tool.
- Cost cited in the source
- Follower: approx. €250–900 depending on damage; far more if the camshaft or pump is damagedA rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
Mileage cited in the database: from 90,000 km. This is not a maintenance interval and does not predict a failure.
