Have you tried to replace low pressure thrust sensor yet vw part #06E906051J, but also might need hpfp replaced too..   Im taking you checked the 20 amp fuse for lpfp and wiring..hope you get it sorted mate..

having a new sensor fitted today, and I've ordered a new cam follower aswell. I really hope this sorts it out as its nearly time for Trax and can't be having a dodgy car driving up there from plymouth lol

some ones just said to me it sounds like the valves burnt out due to excessive carbon build up...
could it be carbon build up??
My local garage has a Terraclean machine which removes all this carbon stuff.. worth a try?
