As a TDI newbie, can someone explain to me why this fuel pump costs $10k? Does this include a new engine and trans too? Sorry, I'm sure this a stupid question but I just don't see how this happens.

Is there any special maintenance that can be done to prevent it's failure??

Is there a way to increase the longevity of the pump? I read a post somewhere else about someone using addititives to the diesel fuel to help prolong the life. Not sure if that will help or not.

great thread - THANKS!

I was actually at the VW dealer today and they claim to have not seen any 09 or 10 TDI's need the HPFP replaced yet...
