Dood i'm pretty sure thats the fault for the low fuel pressure sensor.....

When you get the cam issues..... you generally start to notice a lack of performance on acceleration along with fuel faults..... especially since you said you already replaced the follower

diggs - hold your horses....

Check with AoA first. I just read this on the AudiWorld forums...

UPDATE: While contacting AOA 2 days ago and discussing the dipped headlamp issue my car has been having since 45k miles, I brought up the cam issue again with them. They have decided to honor the warranty they issued for dipped headlamps back in DEC. '10 I had documentation stating that the headlamp dipped code is on... and a replacement for $450 on my service invoice from when I was still under warranty back in 9/09. They are replacing my xenon headlamp at no charge. Audi rep. also mentioned there might be a new campaign for cam follower, hpfp, camshaft issue. There IS a campaign in the works and my car is at the dealership being fixed. She mentioned that the campaign is still so new and that Audi is still working on sending out the details for it. This news made my year. I have been driving the car broke for the last 20k miles with one dipped headlamp usually. Hopefully I will have no hassles from the dealership for payment or bad service.

nah.. ive had it at many audi dealerships and they replace the sensor i think your talking about.. it does nothing....come right back on..... but i think the pump might actually be fuct. cuz it feels wose than usual. the last 5 k..... i woulda replaced the pump but i hear pp on here saying they do and they still get the code. the audi rep told. me its def. the pump............. i shoulda said ok what guarntee do i have if it doesnt fix it.... car runs drives fine though

Most likely not the pump. Check over on the GTI MKV forum or Vortex and get a used one for $50 to $100. People who upgrade to the APR pump usually sell theirs off. I bought one to use as a pump for APR to rebuild so I would not have any downtime. Now would be a good time to go stage 2 plus if you are going to swap the pump anyway. The pump is very easy to change so I would spend any money on labor if you have any mechanical ability.

I have one I would sell since I did not go stage 2 plus on the Audi if you need a used one. Buying a new one would be a waste especially if it is not your problem.
