| Check engine light comes on intermittantly starting in march 2010 with a low fuel pressure fault. car runs fine most of the time, but sputters when the fault occurs and fuel economy suffers. after receiving this fault multiple times, repair shop suggests we try a new fuel filter to see if that clears it, but it will likely need a new fuel pump. new fuel filter helps for 3 weeks, but fault starts occurring again. i took the car to another shop for a second opinon and they agreed that i needed to replace the fuel pump and fuel pump sensor, which i had done in nov 2010 after the fuel gauge stops reporting accurate fuel levels. this clears both issues until february 2011, when low fuel pressure fault starts firing again intermittantly every 2-3 weeks as it had before and fuel gauge is not reporting accurate fuel levels again. now vw states the fuel pump is not the problem (a $1k repair!) and is recommending a new high pressure fuel pump and cam shaft - a $2,300 repair! to add insult to injury my car now smells like fuel after driving it. vw refuses to provide any sort of waranty for any of this work, including the first two repairs that didn't fix the problem. i cannot afford to make these repairs at this time and i am considering asking vw credit to take back the car. | |||

| After going grocery shopping, after leaving the parking lot, i accelerated to about 2500 rpms and then engine cut out and stalled. i tried to restart the car and every time i try to put it into gear, the engine cut out and stalled. i managed to get it into a bank parking lot next door. fortunately, all this happened sunday night, which very little traffic on the road. there was a check engine light with the following codes: 001056 - catalyst system; bank 1: efficiency below threshold p0420 - 002 - lower limit exceeded - intermittent 012555 - low pressure fuel regulation: fuel pressure outside specification p310b - 008 - implausible signal - mil on 004767 - low-pressure fuel pressure regulation: pressure too high p129f - 001 - upper limit exceeded - mil on 000135 - fuel rail/system pressure: too low p0087 - 002 - lower limit exceeded - intermittent 000135 - fuel rail/system pressure: too low p0087 - 008 - implausible signal this is on a 2008 vw passat 2.0t (with the bpy engine). the dealership technician replaced the high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) sensor. apparently, there has been an update to the sensor, which my car lacked. | |||

| Fuel gauge reads incorrectly. prior to first service call, gauge read nearly empty when tank was full; after replacing sending sensor the condition reversed and now reads full when tank is nearly empty. *tr | |||
