VW/Audi MQB HPFP Upgrade - Autotech Internals 

Looking back at this since the golf r trueflex tune just released. Time for some e85!

Any job becomes 10-times more difficult when filming it. Good job on this, though. I would have been cussing like a sailor. Funny the way that the right tool can make a hard job easy!

Shout out to you for explaining the difficulties you experienced on this install.. very helpful to see your mistakes and accomplishments

Just exactly HOW easy is it do if you by the HPFP assembled? Of course I'd need the true flex harness too. But is it really just plug and play?

Whats the difference between the original part ans the updated one ?

what size is the little red tool you used? and what’s it called? that’s the only tool i’m missing.

Good job , were there a few F- Vaguh bombs thrown out during the process? ; ) as along as the wife and kids weren't around. I believe HPA has that flex tune as well.

I too have heard of issues with just upgrading the internals. I recently upgraded mine with IE and I'm also tuned by them. I'm running full e85 and after about a month I got a misfire and can't seem to find the issue. Changed plugs, coils and in the process of removing manifold to check injectors. Before I got the misfire on cylinder 4 I got the P2177 lean code but it went away. I'm thinking it's the injectors because I've heard the 2020-21 cars use Continental ones and they hate e85 and can go bad at 20k miles on regular gas. But part of me thinks it could be the HPFP internals I installed. Not to mention the connector on top of the HPFP has been somewhat damaged because of the bench vise I used. It's still connected and I drove with it like I said for a month with no issues but now the misfire on cylinder 4 is there along with the EPC light coming on numerous times.

wondering if you've had any hpfp related issues running IE's trueflex? i've been having some weird fuel/boost cut issues lately with the autotech hpfp and IE trueflex setup. many people have said that it could be a hpfp issue but i refuse to believe it, as i ordered the preassembled pump.

Hi there mate, my mk7 r is stage 2 tune . If fitting the HPFP , do I need to let the ecu know change or it won’t matter , cheers

do you think a small engine valve spring compression tool would work??? GOOGLE - universal-overhead-valve-spring-compressor

Finally!!! Now waiting on your FFRTSAR upgrade vid!

What about a valve spring tool?

3 inches is not small

4:46 I mean looks average to me, also has a good personality….

I have no idea why I listened to you when putting the retainers in one at a time. If one goes in at an angle it’s impossible to get the other in. Horrible advice dude.

Would I be able to do this without a vise?
