Sounds like fuel supply problem, could be simple thing like blocked fuel filter b ut could also be failing fuel pump. Hard to tell without plugging it in.

Well i managed to get her home, took 5 hours.

Bought mysef a vcds too, so im going to plug it in today and see if i can find out whats wrong.

Do you know if i buy a new fuel pump and fit it myself, will it need to be coded or will it just work.

Change the fuel filter...that's what mine was

Could be a number of things but that's one of the cheaper options... go for OEM

you'll need to clear all the codes in case they are old ones and try again too just to see what still comes up currently

Fuel pressure regulation could well be related to filter if it's clogged.

Iv cleared them and changed the fuel filter although the one that was one looked to have been changed.

Iv just got two fault codes one for right engine mount short to ground and the one for the transmision mount, but i can live with them for the moment.

So all going well i should be ableto make it down to prestige on sunday.
