Well, it happened. My new to me 2012 Passat TDI has HPFP failure. VW won't cover the repair because the car is out of the extended warranty period. I have been searching the forums, and it has been a great help. But I can't seem to find anyone that has done this repair themselves. I am an experienced shade tree and feel confident I can complete the repair myself. I was just looking to pick someone's brain about things to look out for, or tips and tricks to make it go easier. I have the shop manual for the car and an OBDeleven. I know there are some specialty tools I will need to get the repair completed. Is there anything else I would need?

Have you checked the document yourself and doublechecked whether you are covered or not? The repair is pretty extensive as it calls for cleaning and/or replacement of "everything" in the fuel path. Probably want to replace with a CP3 hpfp instead too. There are threads here about doing all of that already.
Here is a good thread to read.

HPFP died but what about the tank fuel pump
I have what appears to be an "hpfp failure" and I'm getting ready to replace it. The car is a 2012 TDI SE, about 95.000 Kms. I don't have a lot of details from when it happened because my daughter was driving it at the time. When I got there it would crank up but no start whatsoever. The dealer...

It is the fuel system and HPFP here. How are you going to delete the fuel system? Deleting emissions and tuning don't help this person at all.

I forgot to add CP3
You have piqued my interest. How are the CP3 conversion and tune cheaper?
