I want to start this update by saying VW dealers are just plain money grabbers. When I took my car to them they wanted £300 in diagnosis costs alone! They believed the camfollower, camshaft and HPFP were all knackered after looking at the two fault codes the system showed.

He checked various bits and bobs and then did some research into the fault codes that resulted in coming across further information relating to a faulty low fuel pressure sensor. He ordered it and then removed the old one for inspection before fitting it. The old one was in a bit of a state to be honest too. Really covered in gunk and dirty when it should have been clean. I also noticed that the fuel that came out of the fuel filter when I replaced it was extremely dirty but the fuel from the inlet lines was clean.
 

Low pressure sensor found under the back seats?

No its one in the fuel line by the engine -either G410 or G247 I think? Would have to double check.

Glad to read you've got it sorted Boothy.

Just for reference, who is the VW Specialist that cured it for you? I think this info would be good to know.

I had the same problem in my A4. Was at a specialist from Monday to Thursday before he spoke to another specialist that had come across it before. Ordered the part, fitted it on the Friday and the car was as sweet as a nut after that. We had to replace the fuel filter too because initially he thought that was the problem and when he tried to clean it one of the plastic parts snapped on it. Was full of crud so replacing it seemed the safer option. Glad to hear you got yours sorted.

At what mileage did you swap your fuel filter?  Is it the filter normally found under the sill.  I rang for a price from my local dealer and they said dont bother its a long life filter?
