This bulletin applies to 2017-2018 Audi A4 vehicles equipped with a 2.0 TFSI engine. If the engine is difficult to start or will not start, one of the following codes may be stored:

P310B (low fuel pressure control, fuel outside tolerance)

P0087 (fuel rail system pressure too low).

Check the low fuel pressure side fuel delivery rate and fuel lines according to ELSA. Check the wiring/connectors/pins between the fuel pump control module and the fuel delivery unit. If no irregularities are found, replace the fuel pump control module.
