Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be helping you with your question today. I've been working on VWs for over 30 years now, so I should be able to help you through this. Please understand that some of my suggestions may require special diagnostic tools and equipment that many home mechanics may not have, but are often required.
**Also, the site automatically prompts for a phone call. It's very rare that I'm available by phone, so let's hold off on that for now. If needed after we exchange some information, I will do my best to take the time for the call.**
The 2293 fault is key here. Pretty common. You're going to need to replace the high pressure fuel pump (rail pump on the engine).

So, the engine computer is constantly commanding various things to happen while the engine is running. Turbo boost pressure increases, camshaft timing advance or retard, throttle blade position, and fuel pressure (both low side and high side). Right now, the computer is commanding a certain pressure to happen (let's say 150 bar for argument's sake) and the rail pressure sensor is only "seeing" 50 bar, then this fault will flag.
