45psi is about 3bar. The regulator should be a 4.0bar one.

Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....

e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)

Default Starting now...

Hope to have it sorted out...
Took the coils out and checked them...ok
Took the fuel rail out and.... One of the injectors had the O-ring completely squashed, torn and eroded. Also signs of silicon used on the seal.
Must have been the previous guy trying to fix it.
Ordered a new O-ring and what you know....starts like a dream. Faster then before.

Forgot to mention that she started a week ago, but with a massive fuel leak (about a liter in half a minute until I opened the hood) from that said injector.

Gona take her to test drive tomorrow and see.
