[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Hi guys, got the EPC light showing on my car.. Its a 55 plate A3 1.6 FSI. I did a scan with VCDS and here are the results.

Now i know i have 2 faults...Please do correct me if i need correcting from this point foward! The second fault i believe is because the CAT may be on its way out?

The main issue i have is the EPC.. That fault has come up and from reading i think i need a new Fuel pressure regulator valve. How many BAR is the standard one? 3 or 4.. (my car is the 1.6 FSI)

If it is 3 BAR, would this be the correct part? FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AUDI A3 A4 A6 80 90 100 1.6 1.8 2.0 TT 1.8T TURBO 3 BAR | eBay

And is it possible to fit these yourself? If not what sort of labour costs should i be looking at?

Thanks guys

Thanks for the reply Chris.

I went and showed the scan results and the following part to my mechanic (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FUEL-PRESS...90809119693%26)

He asked if the regulator should be an electrical one and not mechanical as the scan shows 'Open circuit'. Im not sure if that is the correct part or not, please can someone clarify?

Thanks

Despite the lack of replies, i lcated the HPFP and there is a crack on the black part of it however after removing wires, cleaning the EPC fault has gone and same with the CAT. not bad..
