If that was the case...Surely it would run badly....rather than not even trying to start

the term High pressure worries me a little...is it ok to crack the other pipe and see if that is outputting fuel?

Finally got a break in the downpours to take that pipe off,
Yes, runs with opening the door, and when cranking, pours out at a good rate into a jar, so weve deffo got low pressure fuel.

Nothing obvious to see on the visible wires, be far more hidden though.

Just had another look, no sign of fuel with no plugs in.  say between 60 and 120 bar cranking
HPFP has voltage at the terminal connection was seeing about 6-8v, but was a bit heath robinson to measure.

After clear and some playing, have intermittant P2296 and P2294 codes.

Theres a hard pipe and a soft pipe to this pump, dunno what to disconnect to check, or any other way of checking where fuel is.

LPFP under the bench in the rear so bit of fun to get to that.

Not sure on reliability  of my data poss 96.92 bar fuel pressure, not even sure if thats plausible.

Will see what else I can check later

Or could it just be one of these?

So the Mk6 2.0 Golf wont start today.

we have a P2296 - Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 Control Circuit High - Intermittant and no other engine codes.

Got about an 80 mile range left, so fuel 'should' be ok.  Battery voltage is fine.

Just cranks, doesnt sound like its trying to catch.

A bit of digging has taken me to the High Pressure Fuel Pump, and a guide to change it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6W19K40mpk
But not 100% sure on the diagnosis.  Any ideas to prove thats the issue?  Ive reseated the connector on the top of it, but thats it really.

Id pick one up locally...but these.  https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/fuel-injection-pump-high-pressure-pump-12903/vw/golf/golf-vi-5k1/30971-2-0-gti

Thanks

Must be the day for it. My renewal popped up today. £50 less than last year. £300. Confused was dearer still. Adding both kids on took it to £4500 so I decided not to do that!

Well wasn’t over keen on the spin. Thanks for the heads up. So with the cost and time of fixing both… I grabbed one from the local factors and got it fitted after work. Bit of fun getting the tensioner and belt back on but all done and charging up again at proper voltage. Thanks all. Kids have their car back and no more taxi-ing. Well worth the small premium.

Right, its on the bench....

Do we think I just replace this part?





With something like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186655955645/   Any makes to go for / avoid?

This is where that connects in to



Model details



Or do I just get a new one like these?  https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ridex/15231132

Assuming I can get it off ok, we can manage without it for a few days whatever I need to get

General Car Chat / Corsa C Alternator

« on: 11 September 2024, 07:36:13 »

My youngest (only passed his test a week or so back) went to start the corsa (C, 1.2 petrol, 53 plate) virtually dead.

He got taken where he was going in another car and I got it onto charge.
It then started fine, went for a drive, and battery light came on and battery low when it got home again.
Charged it up again (mostly) and went away for a couple of days.

Some diags yesterday.

12.2v sat on the drive
dropped a bit with electrics on
down to about 10 cranking
back up to 12.1 at idle, or fast idle with load, not much difference.
No obvious heat in battery cables, looked no further than that yet.

So at this point to me its pointing at the alternator, low output.
Is this guide likely to apply to a Corsa alternator does anyone know? https://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90512.0

Or am I best just replacing it, any caveats if I do the job, access doesnt look great fun and theres a bloody great spring tensioner in the way too.
