If you try to patch it, you'll simply ruin the new fuel pump and waste time.
If all you need is to get it to the VW dealer's lot, then see if you can find a used fuel pump and replace it. Don't drive the car but have it towed as close to the dealer as you can. Turn it over and drive it in. Of course, that doesn't help you for the next few months until they start the buybacks.
You seem to be misinformed or operating under some misconception. It is completely inmaterial what the dealer says. They were not in the room when VW negotiated with the EPA and CARB what the settlement will and will not be. There is even a warning issued by the FTC warning owners NOT to be swayed by misinformation from dealers on the terms of the settlement. CARB, EPA, and VW published information is correct. Anything else is not official. The published information put out by VW is the correct information. If it isn't there, its BS. VW is buying the cars back, not the dealer and they are breaking the law if they ultimately act as agents for VW and offer anything less than the published information.
I hope I am incorrect from what VWoA has said regarding the dealer value statement. I was only repeating what the customer care person stated at the helpless desk.
Don't go by what someone says or what you think you heard. Read the settlement documentation.

Wow, that's crazy!
My replacement pump died after 13 months and 23,000 miles. I think they did something wrong.
Considering they didn't actually fix the problem, just replace burnt out pumps with non-burnt out pumps, its not hard to foresee this happening.
Lack of a clean build means little when you are feeding #2 diesel through it, and certainly wouldn't explain 2 1/2 years of operation before spontaneous failure.
If the shop is lazy, maybe they didn't clean out the tank properly, or cleaned out the lift pump etc.
Except, with a broken HPFP, it is already off the road.
Did he say what years were covered by the extended warranty? My car is sitting on their lot with likely the same problem, and I'm concerned about them even looking at it Monday morning if extended warranty isn't available.
Hi. Where is South Coast VW located? Was it covered under the extended HPFP warranty, under 120k?
2009 to 2012 models are covered up to 10 years or 120,000 miles IF both conditions apply:
(b) is especially confusing. they can't possibly test anything more than the current load, so how would that even stand up in court, for example? A single tank of fuel can bring these cars to their knees?
