Hello all. Having issues today to start my 2011 vrs tsi. Don't seem to have any compression as car is not firing. Got home from work to have a look and scanned using carista, threw up code P2296. Guess if the fuel pump has somehow failed then this explains the no compression. Anyone come across this before?

 

I would check the wiring first but if nothing found then replace the valve.

Here are the details from Ross-Tech, the makers of the VW specific diagnostic software VCDS:

18728/P2296/008854 - Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276): Short to Plus 

Possible Symptoms 

• Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) ON

Possible Causes 

• Wiring and/or connections faulty 
• Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve (N276) defective

Possible Solutions 

• Check wiring and connections
• Check / Replace N276

Special Notes 

• On some engines, the N276 may be refered to as the N290 in the factory wiring diagram.
