On Audi/VW applications, P2279 / 008825 means “Leak in Air Intake System.” Ross-Tech describes the common symptoms as the MIL being active, and lists likely causes including a vacuum leak, intake manifold runner position out of specification, and a faulty PCV system or heating element (N79).
P310B / 012555 is a VAG/Audi fault for “Low Pressure Fuel Regulation: Fuel Pressure Outside Specification.” In simple terms, the ECU sees the low-pressure fuel system operating outside the allowed range before fuel reaches the high-pressure pump. Ross-Tech lists the likely symptoms as MIL on and reduced power.
