Here's my specs to start with:
Year: 2008.5
Engine: 2.0TSI (CBFA)
Mods: None
Miles: 80K
Ok so there's what I'm working with. Now for the fault codes I get when running my car...
P2293 - Fuel Regulator/Pressure To Low
P0089 - Fuel Rail/Fuel Pressure Too Low
Parts already bought and installed:
Napa Fuel Filter
Volkswagen Genuine Fuel Pressure Sensor
Volkswagen Genuine HPFP
Issues from beginning to end...
1. (3/4/2013) Drove the car one morning it was about 40 degrees outside, I park outside if that makes any difference. It drove perfectly fine, no issues at this point. I go home and park my car for the day. About 9-10 hours later I get in my car to run to the ATM and notice my car barely accelerates above 2500 rpm in first and second gear and 3500 rpm in all higher gears. I had no boost!
2. (3/5/2013) I bring my GTI to a local shop one of which my friend owns. I plug the computer to my car and it spits back the 2 codes listed above(P2293-P0089) so we started by removing my old fuel filter and replacing it with a brand new filter. Being as it was the cheapest way out I put a lot of my hope into it being the solution. Clear the codes, fire up my car, take it for a test drive... No boost. Bring it back to my buddy's shop and plug it back into his code reader.cuz of course the CEL came on shortly after driving the car. By shortly I'm talking maybe 5-7 minutes. And as my luck would have it, same codes(P2293-P0089). So I put the car up for the night.
3. (3/6/2013) I call my local VW dealership and buy myself a new fuel pressure sensor, HPFP and when I get back to the shop spent a good hour trying to work around things to replace the fuel sensor down inbetween cylinder one and cylinder two. Finally we get it in and buttoned back up. Hoping this would be my fix seeing a the service manager at VW told me he wouldn't be surprised if it was just the switch as he's seen them burn out before. He also told me it was highly unlikely that it was my HPFP. So I start my car up praying it will return back to normal but as I'm sure you can guess it did not! Still no boost, cleared the codes and they came right back on after returning from the test drive.
4. (3/7/2013-today) I return to the shop, open the hood and remove my current HPFP and replace it with the new HPFP. I fire it up, it stutters a few times to pump new fuel through, and yes I primed the pump before starting the car, and I take it for a test ride... Nothing! No boost! FML!!!! So now after using the process of elimination and spending $600 on new parts I guess it's time to move onto the fuel system components at the gas tank end of things. Tomorrow I will remove my rear seat and take a look at my LPFP and fuel send. Hopefully I will see sign of a problem there so I'll know what to fix!
5. (3/7/2013-tonight) So after driving 18 miles home from the shop still no improvement. Then I shut my car off, run in the school to grab my 8 year old, come out and start my car.... CEL still remains on but when I go to accelerate it feels like my acceleration is a tiny bit stronger. Instead of goin limp in first and second gear at 2500 rpm, it now feels like stronger acceleration to 3500 rpm then starts to go limp. It almost feels like I start to get boost then lose it. Like it wants to kick in but just never does.
Any ideas? Anyone with similar or same problem with a possible solution? Any help would be great appreciated. This issue is driving me up a wall!
