It's been a while, but I'm back with a problem if anyone can help. Here's the background --- I have a 2008 MKV with a little over 100K on it, newer cam follower, original HPFP, original timing belt, no previous cam follower issues (replaced multiple times), and it's a dual clutch. I've been the owner since 2010, and I'm the only one that drives the car as well.
Just a few days ago, I noticed that the car lost a lot of performance and would not seem to rev much on my way home from my local gym. An EPC CEL Warning light came up for the first time on the car, as well. I shifted the car into manual shifting, and that seemed to fix it for a few more miles until I started having same issue in manual shift, as well. So, I hooked the car up to my Autel MX808 and reviewed the CELs (they're in the title) and also monitored the live data.
Based on my research, I'm thinking it's a HPFP issue, but could be as small as just an $11 + N276 Pressure Valve. I haven't had a chance, with the holiday and all, to remove the HPFP, but wanted to ask for some opinions and experience from the forum. Have any of you had similar CELs, and, in particular, has anyone found that it was as minor as the $11 pressure valve - or did you have to replace the entire Hitachi HPFP... or, was it something else, entirely?
Thanks in advance!
