    Hello,
    I won`t start cursing (though I`d like to) but I`m already getting to
    the limit of my nerves with my Pug.
    Long time ago had a problem with fuel indicator. At the level of about
    1/6 of the tank the engine just stalled. I thought everything could
    happen but there still must be fuel. It wasn`t....
    Then there was the second time....same stuff but at 1/5 tank...

    I thought my high pressure pump should be already harmed but it kept
    going.

    After some time I spotted the fuel was leaking somewhere. So I found
    the problem under my rear seat. The low pressure pump housing was
    smashed and diesel was spilling everywhere!!! Fixed this problem.
    I thought nothing more should happen at least for a while, but then
    the deadly yellow engine warning light switched on one morning (it
    wasn`t cold). Couldn`t rev more than 3000....after some heating/
    cooling cycles it went down and didn`t came up once more until a few
    days ago.

    One more thing is that sometimes it`s hard to stall the car. I mean
    when I stop the car somehwere....pull out the key it won`t stall for a
    while and keeps going at normal revs (2-3 seconds).

    Well, it was time to take a diagnose. Got my car on a dealers PPS. It
    was an error P1138 telling that:
    RPM: 900 (though I do always see 800rpm when the car is not moving)
    Regulator current: 59mA
    Fuel pressure: 173 bar
    Engine status: EGR system not active
    RCO: 5%
    Errod description: Fuel supply pressure regulator. stop required but
    regulation process still active

    Have searched the internet all over. Can`t figure out from which part
    the search for cause should be started. The dealer wants to change
    high pressure fuel pump it`s 500-600 quid....And if it won`t help?

    Any ideas?
