I've had a 2012 Built MY12.5 R8 and never had any fuel pump issues.

I would be getting the electricals to the pump checked for starters. Maybe too much juice coming in and it blows the pumps. Any mods on the car (like larger injectors) where it's pulling too much fuel and the pump is being starved?

Very strange it only happens once a year. Last time it was the regulator sorry. I've only had otr done and am sure electrical where checked.

So just a check engine light? But does it also not start? Or does it have issues starting?

I have a mate who is getting intermittent starting issues, like it’s starved of fuel but eventually starts. We’re fhinking fuel pump. Was yours like this at all?

It turns over no sound from fuel pump.when you put the reds on.

Its at the shop now. Got new fuel module.going to check the loom between the pump and sender unit. If its no good its 80 bucks.then if all good. I need to take it to get tuned and replace the relay to minimise the cause. This guy that does dyno tuning says it could be a quick reprogram of the ecu unit as the pump probably overvolting in spurts which dose make sence and holden recommended the same thing there abouts. Will keep u posted of the outcome.
