Yes, not nice things, 3 of em to hold me steady as they dont want you moving / jerking.  A horrible sensation.  A good few years ago now.
Was a nasty headache too...suspected meningitus.

Not a great update....

Swapped the HPFP with no change at all.
So decided time to get someone in.  Cant get it anywhere, So home start with the AA it was.

Told him the history, he had a prod and a poke, pointed out turning over far too fast, also tried taking the plugs out, number 1 now stuck fast despite it coming out easily when I did it, Do not beleive cross threaded.  Fairly sure the chain has let go. 

It left on the back of his truck to a garage that does engine repairs.  Not gonna be cheap.

I cant measure pressure...but what came out that hose must be more than it needs by a long shot else that fuel tank would empty very fast 

HPFP is drive by Cam, and there is a plunger between the 2 Ive seen for sale too.  end of this listing theres a few https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/fuel-injection-pump-high-pressure-pump-12903/vw/golf/golf-vi-5k1/30971-2-0-gti?page=3

Think ill remove the High pressure output and see what I get there, and then perhaps take the pump off and check that plunger and see what weve got.

Gotta get it running again soon, frustratingly little to go on.

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

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!
