Mk5 General Area / Fuel rail pressure too low. Advice please.
« Last post by kam760 on Today at 05:40:30 PM Started by kam760 »Hi all,
Picked up an edition 30 off a previous forum member over 6 months ago. Was previously at stage 2, but before he sold to me it was flashed to revo stage 1 back with a standard hpfp at 80k miles. Cam follower was changed 5-6k miles ago. Fuel injectors, seals, fuel filter and decoke done at 60k miles 3 years ago.
Had the EPC light and limp mode come on (the same day the clutch master cylinder was changed...coincidence?) whilst accelerating so i pulled over and didnt drive it anymore. Next day i started it and the EPC light was gone, regardless I booked it into a VW specialist and didn't drive it.
They said codes P0087 (fuel system rail pressure too low) and p2292 (fuell pressure regulator 2 control circuit) flagged up - but they weren't sure of the relevance. They advised to clear the codes and for me to drive it around over the next few days and if it happens again to call them, they'll send off the injectors to be tested in Birmingham. Driven it twice since - short journeys, and just now come on again.
I plan to take a look a the cam follower this week myself, i'm not quite sure what the garage have done but it seems not much. Any advice on what else to check or just in general?

- should maybe mention it’s just the software & maps I’m looking to update.
