I have friends in Zlatoust(Ural mountains), so we have local support. But in Russia if you require any help you always have many peoples, which are ready help to solve any problems. You only need ask for that:)
There we exchanged HPFP. Month before PCV valve was changed and i thinked, that something bad is with pump or PCV valve. But other pump doesn't change anything Low pressure punp in tank was changed in May, so i were sure, that there all is Ok. BUT problem was in fuel filter and completely clogged grid of low pressure pump in tank... That happened after 2.5 months ! And main suspect is Orlen fuel station in Poland (i had trip Lithuania-Poland in June, some strange effects appeared already in Poland).
More problems:
1. Rear right height sensor - solved with shorter rods, sensor operates in other area and problem disappeared;
2. stop lamp switch, changed to new in Irkutsk;
3. seized turbo actuator;
4. and lovely crossover pipe together with actuator. Repair cost of pipe - 70 Euro + 15 Euro for parts
