VROOM Posted Sunday at 06:53 AM Share Posted Sunday at 06:53 AM Hello, Audi A5 2007 3 litre diesel May it be noted the car drove from auction to unit about 5 miles no issues. I have an issue with a car just purchased at auction so don’t know the history of the car. One of the issues is fuel tank malfunction display. After some research I replaced the fuel sender unit under back seat. At first the car started fine (without moving). Once I completed all my works as it needed new brakes and springs etc the car was ready to go a drive. I barely made it out the unit and the car kept cutting out not wanting to start. Code was low fuel pressure. When turning the ignition on I couldn’t hear the sender activating so I checked the fuses. Sure enough the third fuse down in middle row for the fuel pump had blown. This was replaced but still the car will not start. I have tried putting the ignition on several times to bleed the system but still no joy. When I use Easy Start the car will turn over for a second then just cut out. It’s not firing up for some reason. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted Sunday at 08:02 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:02 AM Welcome Ryan, When you say you replaced the fuel sender unit, are you meaning the in-tank fuel pump? If so, new ( what brand?) or secondhand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, new ( what brand?) or secondhand? Yes, the in tank pump. Apparently there is 2. I renewed the one under back seat. It was replaced with a second hand one from a car that had been in a crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Does the replacement unit need coding I wonder? Or could it be an issue with the high pressure fuel pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
