Ninerbike's news about the VW letter has found it's way into the FTE discussion. I wonder how that will go over at FTE? They are basically blind to the real world facts that the pumps are very much the same internally. I do not expect such an admission of "manufacturer shortcomings" to come from Ford any time soon...
Shame on Ford

The "V" design on my 2012 V6 Toaureg Bosch CP4.2 is almost identical to that on the Ford and the GMC diesels. The bore and the stroke, as well as cam lift might be modified slightly for more volume of fuel per stroke for the Ford and GMC versions, and the V8 version will turn the same as the cranks speed, while on my V6 it will run at 2/3 crank speed, but other than that, they are one and the same. I will say that running at less than crank speed is an advantage on the V6 over the V8. There are noted failures on the Audi Q7 and Touareg diesel models, but the VW warranty and 10 year 100,000 mile power train warranty has been in effect since the 2011 model came out in July or August of 2010 in the 3rd generation Touareg with the 7 or 8 speed automatic gear boxes.
405 ft lbs of torque, stock from a 3 liter diesel is a lot of fuel flowing through that pump and nozzles at 1800 to 2300 rpm, for it's displacement size.
