When the HPFP fails, it usually is not the HPFP itself, but the pressure transducer/regulator on the HPFP. When this fails, at least on the Simos 6.22 ECU from the pre-facelift cars, it often blows the output from the ECU. I've replaced many ECU's for that issue on them. If you replaced the HPFP and the code for the pressure regulator persists, you may want to investigate the ECU further. 2011 should have Simos 8.30 and I am not sure if that ECU has the same problem as Simos 6.22 or not. Cheapest route is to get a junkyard ECU with matching part number (OK to use one with newer software revision) and get someone to clone your existing ECUto the new one (or do it yourself if you have the right tools). I wouldn't replace the ECU until you have verified that it is at fault. Did you clear all of those codes, and they are still coming back after the repair?

Don't replace the ECU unless you are sure it is a problem.

All these codes are still present after the repair?
The car is still leaking oil after the repair?
