Managed to get the warning light for the exhaust come up today for the first time. Car's been fine, with no unusual changes in the last few days or so. It didn't come up this morning when I went to work but came on an hour later when I had to go somewhere else.
No obvious changes in the characteristics of the car.
Sooo....did a VCDS scan (posting just the relevant bits):

Looking these up alludes to problems with either the fuel pressure sensor itself or the pump (or both!).
Anyone had a similar problem come up? How long did it take to sort?
-
Have you had your the fuel pressure sensor changed?
btw you should update your vcds to the release dated 11-09-09
-
Nope. Other than an air filter change, car has been unmolested since I bought it 12 months ago.
-
Not remapped either?
-
I think you need to get the fuel pressure sensor changed in the first instance if you don't want to use the dealer for whatever reason.
-
Not remapped either?
No mate. Car is unmodified because of insurance issues. Once I switch to a mod-friendly insurer, it'll be mods-galore.
I think you need to get the fuel pressure sensor changed in the first instance if you don't want to use the dealer for whatever reason.
Will definitely go down to the dealers this weekend but wanted an idea of what was likely to be causing issues and an idea of time/cost. Need the car for work, so wouldn't be happy about being car-less!
-
95% sure that this is the fuel pressure sensor thaton the low pressure side of the HPFP. There is a TSB on this - TSB 24 07 08 June 19, 2007 2015106/1 (not sure if just US market). Fine to drive until sorted :happy2:

Hmmm...surprised about that because I'm sure my build date was October 2007 or thereabouts.
-
I had this lamp on, took it to an Indy who checked the codes, sorry that I didn't record the codes now. But he cleared it and it has never came back. I remember the lamp coming on, I was sitting at lights in S with my foot on the brake (something I never do).
Anyway it's been ok for 4 weeks and apparently this lamp can come on for any number of reasons.
-
Has the ecu had an update?
Clear the fault codes and see how you get on.
My car had 12 fault codes once, and intermittently ran like sh*t. Cleared fault codes, updated ecu softare and its all been fine since. And this is on a 09 car.
-
I had that sensor replaced on a recall - 09/06 build.
EDIT: recall notice 24m5. no letter received, just advised when it was in for the DSG check.
-
Not it's not had an ECU update as far as I'm aware. It had it's first service (oil change) back in January. No mention of ecu update at the time. Like I said, it's been fine since I bought it in Aug 08.
-
Gah! Stealers say they can't fit me in for a diagnostic until tuesday and that it'll take an hour!
What's the difference between the dealers and vcds?
-
About 60 squid. :innocent:

About 60 squid. :innocent:

Stealth, if you just want the stealer to check on the 24M5 notice, they can do that over the fone! :wink:

So I drove the car this morning. Managed the 4 miles to town without problems. Drove back and as I was nearing the supermarket, i had loss of power - a bit like if the car stalls but there was no warning or anything. Just sudden loss of power. Managed to park in the supermarket carpark but required me to restart the ignition at least 4 times, cutting out after about 10 seconds if I use a lot of gas to move off or sooner if I don't
Complete gayness as I really need the car for work.
Anyway sat here in the carpark waiting for vehicle recovery. Thank god I joined up about a month ago! Hopefully the dude will arrive in twenty more minutes.
-
Sorry to hear of this mate.
Hope the recovery man is on time to sort you out
-
Recovery guy was ten minutes early! Yay! Told him the story and said it's likely to be the fuel pressure pump. He ran his company version of VAGCOM which said 'low fuel pressure'.
Got towed to the nearest VW dealership who will try to get the car done by wednesday.
Thankfully, with RAC I have the maximum cover so the guy was able to drop me and the food shopping off home as well as sort out a hire car (unfortunately only for three days), which I should be picking up on monday (can do without over the weekend).
VW mentioned they do roadside assist using RAC. I informed them that I never received a renewal letter for the VW roadside assist.
-
Bummer. Hope its fixed soon Stealth. :sad1:

^^^^ X2

The dealer has had the car since Saturday but didn't get round to looking at it until today! Thankfully, it was just the sensor that needed replacing, not the pump.
Didn't realise a faulty sensor could cause the engine to cut out.
After prancing around in buses and a hire car (new shape fiesta), it feels fantastic to get back into the GTI. You appreciate the sharpness of the controls, the secure feeling of the seat, and the speed, my God the speed!
-
So, did I get that one right :happy2:
-
stealth glad you are back on road, pitty about the dealer experience
-
Pity it took so bloody long. Glad it's sorted now pal
-
So, did I get that one right :happy2:
Didn't I mention the sensor first?? :laugh:
