On this topic P1206 was fixed by replacing the ecu since it was not controlling the fuel pressure correctly viewtopic.php?t=71703 . It also had a high fuel pressure fault P1113.

Is this a permanent fault or can be repaired?

If your code reader does live data have a look at the fuel pressures and see if they are normal or not. Also before you delete the fault code have a look at the freeze frame data which will show the various sensor values when the fault was stored. If your reader cannot do this then I would have a diagnostic done to see what is wrong, it can be cheaper than trying to guess and replace parts hoping to get it right before spending too much money.

It might be the ecu but it could also be other parts that are not working correctly so best to have it checked first. If it does turn out to be the ecu and not a sensor then there are companies that can repair them.

I do not know much about fuel pressures but about 300 bar may be right at tick over.

If you can find the freeze frame data on the code reader see what that shows when the fault was recorded.

When a fault code is stored the car also stores the values of the various sensors when the fault was stored. You should be able to find this freeze frame data with a code reader that does live data.
