I have a 2007 GTI MKV that the previous owner ran the cam follower through. I was able to get the warranty claim and got a new cam, follower, HPFP etc...However after I checked the follower wear now (6 months later) I have a small fuel leak after putting things back together. I have read about the washer (N 013 806 3) posted at http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2794288#post2794288 and this washer doesn't fit the new HPFP I got from the cam follower claim. The leak is from the top of the bolt in the attached picture.

I have tightened the bolt with plenty of torque but don't want to damage anything so I have not gone crazy on it. I have also put upward pressure on the rail while threading the bolt with no differences in the slow leak.

Is there a washer of some sort at the base of the bolt or is there a different washer for the revision HPFP that was installed by VW for the cam follower claim that may have fell out when I checked the follower?

Thanks!

Just wondering.. Why did you take that fitting off to check the cam follower.?

You can't take the HPFP off to check follower unless you loosen the fitting so that it slides on to the fuel rail and of the pump: http://myfastgti.com/volkswagen/thr...wer-Replacement#/forumsite/21118/topics/12734

In that DIY we're talking about step number 5 correct? Or are you talking about step number 6 on removing the banjo bolt?
