Description of the problem	I have a 2012 jetta tdi that is now just out of bumper to bumper warranty, except the 10yr/120k coverage extended on the known poorly designed hpfp (investigated in nhtsa action pe10034). I do a fuel filter change early 15k from the last dealer change at 44500 miles... And i find metal particles in the fuel filter. This is not normal, and indication of wear, and source is almost certainly the hpfp cam and roller/piston which is lubricated and cooled by diesel fuel recirculated to the filter via bypass, and some of this ends up in the fuel tank, and worse can end up in the injectors causing injector failure, even possible burned piston heads and catastrophic engine damage. I assume the path forward is document my findings, i did this with high resolution digital pictures, printed for the dealer, and a pristine white rag turned grey with metal filings, along with the old filter delivered for their inspection (i even provided the vcds diagnostic print out for the vehicles self-diagnosis). Since i did the filter change, and about 100 miles and one day later, there is no more evidence of these metal particles in the system.. The dealer service department tried, vw would not authorize a pump replacement.. So i called and vw explained the situation to them, they did not bother to record name or vin, clearly not interested in
