No VW fault code numbers?

Are they current or intermittent? Is this what's come back when you've cleared the fault codes?

What fuel pressure regulation? :shock:

What scanner is this?

Intercoolers are not great true but once we got the car on the lift it was all clear. Bank 2 turbo pipe popped off. In 10 mins it was back on secured. Car runs like a bullet now (remapped by Unit20). It's time to hit the road back.
