changing tappets

Postby scas » Fri Jun 22, 2018 12:12 pm

most of my tappets are solid so i was going to change them. i can push them back into the follower with vice grips and most spin around freely but how do you get them out of the follower? 2.4 mk6

They should be solid unless the oil feed hole is uncovered, or they are so knackered they won't stay pumped up.

Can you get them out..?? I'm not sure they come out......even if you could, I don't think you can buy them separately.

are they really meant to be solid? i would have thought there should be a bit of give in them, but im just guessing
