Hello. Got this AUDI S5 came to shop for a too rich mixture due to oil contaminated with fuel, we replaced the HPFP and now i am dealing with this P0087. I read about a software update related to p0087... I will try to post those TSB. we already did fuel pressure test after reading the Ross Tech wiki and also check residual pressure guided by a Ross Tech video and everything looks okay. Engine runs okay it is just, P0087 comes on after a road test in a freeway. Timing chain looks okay as well. I replaced the HPFP bucket just in case and the cam lobes looks okay.

the rport state if the engine module soft ver is 0005 then i dont need to do this update. What do you guys think could be the case here. should I try to update the module? is it something else...?

How about the fuel filter and the transfer pump?

i did a residual pressure test
That looks like rail pressure, and if so, it doesn't tell us a thing about the ability of the transfer pump to deliver fuel to to the high pressure pump.

you asked me about transfer pump aka lift pump aka fuel tank pump... that is its pressure. it is running when running at 35 %DC

He asked you very specifically
about the ability of the transfer pump to deliver fuel to to the high pressure pump.
Here you will need to measure Pressure and FLOW !! - After the Filter !!

Source of the HPFP and any parts that were replaced?

35 % dc. you face scare me Yogui. if you dont understand that. please dont participate. if you are used to be bully then i cant tell you what i thinking about you.

Let me explain what I am thinking !!

I guess that 35% dc refers to Duty Cycle - Is that 35% On or 35% Off ? Not that it matters as long as Pressure and Flow is correct at the HPFP.

Now you seem to have ignored
Here you will need to measure Pressure and FLOW !! - After the Filter !!

Pressure and Flow are not the same !! For that reason there are Technical Specifications for Pressure and Flow in the Workshop Manual of every fuel driven Engine with a Fuel Pump - Not just in a Car.

Will be the same in a Lawn Mower or an Oil Tanker. Even Carburettor Engines.

With P0087 which is a very common DTC and not difficult to diagnose - (Actually child play with the right tools) - You need to confirm LP pressure and flow before you go anywhere near the HP side

Got this AUDI S5 came to shop for a too rich mixture due to oil contaminated with fuel, we replaced the HPFP and now i am dealing with this P0087.
How do you know, for sure, that P0087 was not there before you replaced the HPFP ?? I doubt that you do - how could you ?



So far this is what I am reading here

What do you guys think could be the case here.
You looking for thoughts and guesses - Test and Measurement tips is what I would be after, I can make wrong guesses without help !!

Here you will need to measure Pressure and FLOW !! - After the Filter !!
Ignored measuring fuel flow

And where is the fault code with the FREEZE FRAME Data ??
Ignored this question that was designed to help you.

Source of the HPFP and any parts that were replaced?
Ignored this question from @EuroX too

72 PSI from the transfer pump? :confused:

-Uwe-

Some of the FSI motors ( I only know the MK5 ones though!) run a 6.6 bar (95 PSI) mechanical regulator built into the fuel filter. The pump duty cycle is varied to achieve lower pressures.

Some ECU's measure the low pressure, some don't - they just guess: So if there is a fault, the "measured" pressure can just be a calculated value and without measuring it properly, it could be anything... SO, once we know the pressure and flow, we could move on from there... anything else is guesswork and wasted time.


Sidequest: It's like Oil: People wank on about oil pressure for bearings etc... they don't need pressure*, they need FLOW! We use pressure to tell us if we have flow or not, because it's a cheap way to do it. When we DO measure oil pressure, it's just after the filter, BEFORE the engine, so a restriction there gives us awesome pressure readings, but NO IDEA what's going on at the bearings in the motor. It's an INDICATOR only.

It may be a cheap way to do it for the VM however Cheap is not always best in the Diagnostic Bay.

I have seen techs disappearing up their own a55 holes by ignoring the flow test.

Poor flow will always show good pressure because it will build in time.

Good Flow and Good Flow alone is vital when a Sharp demand for Increased Pressure is required

Pumps - Oil Pumps / Fuel Pumps .... Cannot create pressure autonomously - All they create is flow. It is the restriction of flow upstream that creates the pressure.

In CRD & GDi it is the Injectors. In an Engine it is the Bearings. In Air Con it is the Expansion Valve.


We have a prime example here of a Flow Measurement not taken because Pressure is ok. A cheap and wrong way to go.

Pressure is Possible without Flow.
Flow is Possible without Pressure.

P0087 is set if Pressure is less than specified for a very short time - measured in milliseconds !!


IMV, DRV, Fuel Pressure Regulators all alter flow to Control Pressure - Making Flow a little more important than those knowledged correctly will give credit for..

I from the transfer pump? :confused:
hello mr UWE.... P0087 got fixed. since we didn't have that P0087 code before we warranty la HPFP. installed a another new one and code didn't come back.



A COMMENT:
ROSS TECH FORUM should block bullies. I know they are proliferating in this days but that don't make them being right. this people they are always right.... even in Hell

Should of answered my question sooner and avoided the headaches. This is why there is a block button available to you.
