HELLO,

I JUST GOT A EPC LIGHT FOLLOWED BY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CAR RUNS FINE SINCE I PURCHASED IT OVER 2 YEARS AGO. THERE IS 111K MILES ON IT. ONE ISSUE I NOTICED WAS SOMETIMES IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE TO TURN OVER WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR.

I ALREADY REPLACED THE G410 LOW FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR, AND I AM WONDERING IF I SHOULD REPLACE THE G247 NEXT (WHICH INVOLVES REMOVING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD) OR REPLACING THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS ( PLEASE ADVISE ANY WARNINGS, SINCE THE "HIGH PRESSURE" PART MAKE ME WEARY).

PS. I LOVE THIS FORUM BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL IN MY PURCHASE AND ALL MY REPAIRS FOR THIS AWESOME CAR, AND I WOULD LOVE TO POST SOMETHING ONE DAY THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED YET.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VCDS FOR THIS TROUBLE AND THE CODE IS P0088, I REPLACE THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL SENSOR THINKING IT WAS A P008B CODE...

ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

Wasn't that nicer to type your 2nd post in lower case letters where appropriate INSTEAD OF ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS?

Replacing the high pressure fuel pumps fixed this for me. I replaced them myself. On my 2007 A8 4.2 they were right on top, very easy access. I got them from ECSTuning.com in 2017 for 263.95 ea. Same Hitachi pumps as OEM. Waaay cheaper. Dealer wants a whole lot more to replace. I checked and ECS still sells them for that price. LINK
