If there are no big rash of pump failures by Dec... should we consider this file to be ... solved by the new Czech pump?
See new Czech made / redesigned pump in this thread at end of pics.

Then the question... should owners of the older pump replace it themselves to avoid the problems?
Despite 3 revisions admitted by Bosch to NHTSA, there has been a new spate of 2012 VW TDI pumps failing on TDI club. Do not know where those models are being made, MotherLand or Czechville.
Here's a 2011, in Houston TX that just blew, despite B5 in the fuel for lubricity from day 1.
2011 JSW TDI Wagon on B5 grenades HPFP.
You never know when they'll blow and leave you with a $8500 repair.
