Is it possible for the pump to jump a tooth ?
Would the van still start and run ?

I have not removed the entire cover to check this but if, as I assume you are saying it is possible to jump a tooth on the pump and still run that will be my next move.
Thanks

Is the relatively slow crank from the starter that makes regular cranking safe and tow starting dangerous ? Or the rate at which engine goes from zero RPM to whatever ?

Just wandering if this was fixed and if you could explain what you did to fix it, please?The tricky one wrote:Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with the performance of my mk6 2.4 90ps rwd tranny. It will only rev to about 3200 rpm and top speed is 65 on a good day and hills just kill it. After scanning the forum i headed towards the fuel pump being the issue. I have checked boost pressure and it's only about 9psi. I got a pump removal kit and have checked the pump timing and that was out a bit. However this has not increased performance. I hooked up to the van with a laptop and it is reporting the error codes p0149 & p1564. After checking about a bit, I think this may be a solenoid issue. Can anyone confirm if this sounds right or have I missed any steps to eliminate things ?
Any help is welcome.
P.S. The van starts and ticks over fine, no extra noise even at speed.
Attached is the error log
Edit : I did notice on the pump sprocket that it had quite a few welts from what I can only assume is hammer hits. So much so that I had to debur one of the holes that allows access to the t45 torx nuts to allow the locking pin to fit in.
