I've moved this post from the HPFP failure thread. I recommend you delete your post that provoked my response, to avoid confusion.
evoblade: First of all, I'm sorry for your HPFP failure, and the expense and inconvenience related to the failure.
I'm going to offer my own speculative perspective on your failure. It is based on what I've read here over the past 5 years, and of course, is loaded with opinion. I'm sure others will add their thoughts, as yours is (I think) the highest mileage HPFP failure that has been posted here.
It's quite possible your HPFP just wore out. There's a Bosch paper (somewhere on this site...it should be made into a sticky!) that states very clearly what the expected lifespan of the CR HPFP will be if fed fuel with specific lubricity values (HFRR: High Frequency Reciprocating Rig)
IIRC, if fed the then typical USA fuel with a minimum HFRR of 520, the life expectancy is around 150k miles.
If fed the Bosch requested fuel with HFRR rating of 460, the life expectancy jumps to 250k, again, IIRC.
I'm only stating what has been discussed at length in the various HPFP failure threads. I'm not stating anything new.
I see you post that you did NOT use additives. IF (lots of big "IFS" here!) you've been fueling with HFRR 520 fuel, I might conclude that your HPFP actually failed beyond the period expected by Bosch.
All of this is clouded by the wide variability of diesel fuel lubricity. We just don't know what goes into our cars.
