High Pressure Fuel Pump Tappet drives the engine-mounted high-pressure fuel pump from the camshaft.

The tappet acts as the cam follower, riding on a dedicated camshaft lobe and converting its rotation into the reciprocating motion that operates the high-pressure pump plunger to generate rail pressure for direct injection. For the 2.0L Si4 turbocharged petrol engine.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LR038311A high pressure fuel pump tappet?
The LR038311A high pressure fuel pump tappet is the cam follower that sits between the camshaft lobe and the high pressure fuel pump plunger. It transfers the cam motion that pressurises fuel for direct injection. Fits the 2.0L Si4 petrol engine on Discovery Sport, Freelander 2, Range Rover L405, Range Rover Sport L494 and Evoque L538, plus the 5.0L V8 on New Defender.
Why does the fuel pump tappet fail on these engines?
The fuel pump tappet is a known wear point on the 2.0L Si4 Ingenium petrol engine. As the follower face wears it can knock, cause a fuel pressure fault, and in bad cases shed metal into the fuel system. Typical signs are a ticking noise from the pump area and a running fault on Discovery Sport and Evoque L538.
Should the tappet be replaced with the high pressure pump?
The tappet is typically replaced whenever the high pressure fuel pump is changed on the 2.0L Si4 engine, since both wear together and the follower is quick to access once the pump is off. Fitting a new pump onto a worn tappet risks a repeat failure on Range Rover L405 and Range Rover Sport L494.
Which models and engines does this tappet fit?
The LR038311A fits the 2.0L Si4 (240PS) petrol engine on Discovery Sport (2015 on), Freelander 2, Range Rover L405 (2013 on), Range Rover Sport L494 (2014 on) and Evoque L538 (2012 on), and the 5.0L V8 AJ133 on New Defender L663 (2020 on). Confirm your engine with the VIN.
