Just did a little reading at work on HPFP issue. Seems like theres a guy that makes a kit that basically puts an inline filter everywhere to keep the problem contained to the fuel pump only. I sent him a PM to see how much it is. Might be cheap insurance. After browsing the thread on the failures on tdiclub, it seems like most failures are to cars with <30k miles on them. I only saw one failure for a car with around 150k in the 10 mins or so I spent looking. Kind of leads me to believe it's one of those things that's either going to fail, or isn't, and if it hasn't by now might be OK. THe general recommendation seemed to be maybe it's a good thing to replace if you do timing belt since it's required to remove the TB anyway.
