Update: I replaced the fuel pump under the back seat and a new fuel filter. The car drove fine for 10 minutes then I lost power and was getting the code P0087. I was leaving it down tonight to get the fuel regulator done in the morning and the car had zero power, the worst it's ever been and I discovered that the fuel return line that had been changed last week was ruptured and the engine bay was flooded in diesel again. Back to square one.

Forgot to ask, is that the one thats located in the tank?

I'll give that a go, thank you.

2011, that was my fear that it was going.

So my TDI Vrs has had power issues this last few months and struggling to turnover and has stalled 3 times while driving. I've had the DPF checked and cleaned along with the turbo and nothing could be found. The car is still having the issues so my mechanic cleaned the throttle body and when I got it back it started a buzzing sound when the engine got warm and the car was losing power again. It was then discovered the return line was leaking diesel so I replaced that, still left with the buzzing sound. I then changed the low pressure fuel pump and car started perfect and all power issues seemed to be resolved untill the engine got warm where it began again. I'm at an absolute loss as there are no fault codes showing and below is a video of the sound. 20240723-204025_qb2hnWSp.mp4

My VRS is been having power issues this last month and with other issues is turning into a money pit. I got the car serviced and the next day it broke down a few metres from my house. The car started about 10 minutes later and I sent it back to the mechanic who claims an O ring must have blew off the diesel filter. Everything was fine till a few days later when it broke down again and this time it took longer to start back up again but with a noticeable loss of power and chugging. The mechanic originally suspected the fuel pump but determined it was the DPF but I was getting nothing on the diagnostics and no engine management light. A few days later the light came on and DPF fault was coming up on the computer. I took it and got the DPF cleaned and then mapped out and got it back and now it has alot more power but still a noticeable lack in the lower gears, the car doesn't take off like it used to and the revs are quite high. I'm at my wits and bank balances end trying to figure this out. Any help is much appreciated.
