    Owner says Mil came on and shortly after engine died.

    It attempted to restart a few times but eventually would not start at all.

    I have extracted code P1180 (presure regulator) using Launch

    Using live data and comparing the "Actual" fuel rail presure against Target" presure is interesting.

    "Target" seems to be around 250 Bar, The "actual presure rapidly rises to 1500bar under cranking.

    There does seem to be a facility to test the FPresure regulator under the Actuator driver menu on the launch but it doesnt seem to do anything (No clicks, hums etc)

    Since my only information I have on this is Autodata I am now pretty much in the dark.

    How does one check the presure regulator? (indeed, where is it) Is this a "Driveway" repair or does it really need a clean workshop?

    Paul
