Cupra is broken

[shaunymac]

Hi Guys,

So I was pulling out of a petrol garage this afternoon put my foot down and bang the car went in to limp mode. EPC light cam on the dash so took it to my local stealers turns out it is down to the fuel pressure valve? any one had any similar experiences?

Anyone?

How many miles has it done.

Could well be related to the fuel pump cam follower wearing out. Get the dealer to inspect the cam shaft for wear and tear also.

Cheers ZBOYD its done 27k and its a 57 plate i will ask them to look at it thanks.

I would think they have probably inspected it to be honest if the fuel regulation is throwing up fault. But a worn cam bucket can essentially indicate a worn camshaft too which is more expensive to repair.

Be interested to hear their resolution though even if it's not fuel pump related.

The dealer only ran a diagnostic on my car as far as i am aware so it might be worth asking them to check it now im worried! lol I will post up when i get my car back.

Bit of an update, Dealer fitted the replacement parts he told me it was a fuel pressure valve but not 100% if this is correct? Any way they were still unable to clear the fault and now have to wait for 'technical' to get back to them. Anyone any ideas? Getting pretty frustrated now.

Dealer replaced the fuel pressure regulator. Seems to be ok now finges crossed.
