UPDATE (9 December): Sorry for not responding to questions or updating my post sooner. When the HPFP went out for the second time, I was furious. I contacted Star Motor of WV and told them what happened. I had my TDI delivered to them on 22 November. I didn't contact them but waited for them to contact me. While I waited, I analyzed my finances to determine how I would pay for the repairs. On 6 December, Star Motor contacted me and told the TDI was fixed and I could pick it up anytime. They also said VWOA paid for the repairs and I owe nothing. Thank you Star Motor. The first time the HPFP went out was July 2011 when the TDI had 36,250'ish miles. I fought with VWOA to pay for that repair. VWOA didn't want to but the Regional Representative (Brian) agreed to have VWOA pay for the repair. I received a call from VWOA stating basically, even though they said no to paying, they will support their Rep and cover the repairs. This time, I didn't contact VWOA but they paid for the repair anyway. So, the first HPFP lasted 36,250 miles and the second HPFP lasted roughly 113,549 miles. IMO the HPFP should not have failed at all. It is not a typical wear item and shouldn't need to be replaced. I do not run a fuel filtration system or use fuel additives but maybe I should. I'll research those items later in the other areas of this forum. However, I will probably trade the vehicle. I still owe on it but I think it's best to trade it while it's still running and before the HPFP goes out for a third time.
that doesn't answer the question I posed...
