My 2008 3.6 Passat had been throwing CELs for fuel pressure off and on for a while. Then last week the N276 (Fuel Pressure Regulator valve in the High Pressure Fuel Pump) revealed itself as the source of the problem by failing completely. I got tons of misfires and surging on cold starts since the pressure in the fuel rail wasn't being regulated and maintained properly. Otherwise the job was pretty straightforward. I got a Hitachi HPP0014 from RockAuto as a replacement HPFP (original was a Hitachi as well). The plug for the N276 had a little gas in it, confirming that the N276 had failed internally at 15 years/125,000mi.
