VW Audi 1.9 TDI Hydraulic Lifter Set – 8 FAI BFS101S

VW Audi 1.9 TDI Hydraulic Lifter Set – 8 FAI BFS101S Lifters

This listing is for 8 brand new FAI black hardened hydraulic lifters for the compatible VW Audi SEAT and Skoda engines listed below. The FAI part number is BFS101S. These are also known as hydraulic tappets or camshaft followers.

You will receive one complete set of eight lifters for a four-cylinder 8-valve engine. BFS101S identifies each individual lifter. This listing supplies eight of them.

Product details

• Brand: FAI
• Part number: BFS101S
• Quantity supplied: 8 hydraulic lifters
• Type: Black hardened hydraulic bucket tappets
• Coating: Heat-treated oil-based coating
• Internal design: Two springs
• Diameter: 35 mm
• Height: 26 mm
• Position: Inlet and exhaust valves

Why the lifter specification matters

Hydraulic lifters can look similar and still have different internal designs. These hydraulic lifters have a coated surface and two internal springs for BFS101S. Stock uncoated, hydraulic lifters ( like FAI BFS66S) use one spring. FAI confirms that BFS101S can replace BFS66S where applicable but the uncoated BFS66S must not be used in place of BFS101S. Matching the diameter and height alone is not enough. Check the engine application and part number before ordering.

Fitting information

These hydraulic lifters must be fitted by a qualified vehicle mechanic. Follow the correct preparation and installation procedure for your engine. Filling the lifters with oil and fitting them straight away is not a substitute for this procedure. FAI advises checking that the tappets move freely in their bores and manually rotating the engine twice before starting to confirm free movement. These lifters are intended for standard engine applications.
