Replacing High-Pressure Pump Lifters

Model: Audi A4 B7 - Years 2004-2008
Part: Engine

Wear of the high-pressure pump lifter is a common issue in first-generation FSI engines due to its thin design. It appears that modifications have been made in later generation engines, and similar updates can be applied to older engines. In any case, replacement lifters are readily available in the aftermarket at a reasonable price (Ref. 06D 109 309D).
Replacing the lifter is straightforward. Disconnect the connectors from the high-pressure pump, remove the piping, and unscrew the three Torx bolts that secure the pump to the engine. Once the pump is removed, take out the old lifter and insert the new one.
