I had very similar symptoms on my 08 D3 and the P0087 fault code. I had no pressure at the schraeder valve so changed out the LPFP but still had the faults. In the end I got a refurbed HPFP from PF Jones, I've not had any issues since I changed it.
I found that by driving at higher revs in command shift that it didn't go into limp mode as often.

Looking at the price of a new HPFP pump, it is an expensive diagnosis error, especially with the time required to fit.Chris

Its funny you should say that as i found the exact same, if i thrashed it in command shift it didnt happen as much.
Just been on the phone to PF Jones - they don't have any cores in stock to provide me with a recon unit but have offered a turn around of 10 working days
My other option is a recon Lucas unit from Euro car parts
Has anyone got any experience with the Lucas recon'd unit?

Actually, I think I recall DM saying in a post somewhere recently he might have one on the shelf!yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
He only has a euro 3 one, looks like I’ll just have to send mine away to PF Jones if the other checks I carry out once home confirm my suspicions. Intending doing the timing belt and a few other repairs so should keep me busy for a while until the pump is turned around.
Sure I’ve read people having issues with Lucas euro car parts pump, turns out the PF Jones recon pump is cheaper anyway

Don't they (pfj) have a new SVDO pump for £725.00 inc VAT!!
That's got to be the cheapest out there for a New pump? OK it's £300 more but do you want to be doing this job again if the recon doesn't work out?
They dont have stock of either, no new units available and they dont have any old cores to build a recon unit, so my only option is to send in for repair.

New LPFP - same symptoms!
Just returned from the Indy having spent £900 on a LPFP change - first hill I tried to accelerate up and bong - same faults argh!!!!!!!! (2.93A current draw now worse than before!) Will be returning to the garage to get them to explain why the LPFP change has made no difference despite all the experts (and the Indy) saying the symptoms were pointing to the LPFP. Will keep everyone posted.
