Typical failure window
The cam follower that sits between the camshaft and the high-pressure fuel pump wears through, causing metal-on-metal contact and eventual HPFP failure.
| Repair Tier | Dealer Price | Specialist Price | What It Involves | Longevity / Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Preventative Replacement Minor | £400- £600 | £250- £400 | Replace cam follower and inspect HPFP cam. | Essential check every 20k miles for BWE engines. |
HPFP& Follower Replace Minor | £1,200- £1,800 | £800- £1,200 | Replace damaged HPFP and follower. | Viable if caught before engine contamination. |
Full Replacement- Rebuilt Engine Best Value | £3,500- £5,000 | £1,800- £2,800 | Supply and fit of rebuilt engine due to debris damage. | Necessary if metal shavings have entered the engine. |
