Failures in VW have run the gamut from under 600 miles, to 1800 miles to 14000 miles for a 2011, to an 85,000 mile failure down in Texas last August, to a 105k mile failure in San Bernadino county, Calif last October. There is no predictability as to failure on the mileage for MTBF, there seems to be clusters, statistically, shortly after the hottest months of the season. CAlif, TX and FL are the record holders for most amounts of failures, of folks that have reported to TDIclub their failures. Lots of them start showing up in late August, Sept, and October, the damage probably starting the cascading effect sometime during the hot summer months, or vacation driving.
I can not stress enough to leave a good amount of reserve fuel in your tanks during hot summer and fall periods, it is indeed coolant for your fuel system.
Have you thought of recommending addition of Kool Aid?

If this is CDC (Or CDC&P, in their preferred name of late), their methodology is to administer an excruciating detailed questionnaire to the patients (with mystery illness) to see what shows up.
What were the events that immediately happened before...
Anything that can tie common threads.
A good micro brew after fly fishing or an epic Mtn Bike ride, perhaps, Kool Aide is for kids,dependents, and in the case of Jonestown, fanatics, or folks of blind faith, not grown adults with critical deductive reasoning skills.
