Mike - Cardan shaft bushing - I did my own "Jimi Fix" before that was a thing. I actually designed up a fix that was a little better than the "Jimi Fix." Anyway, that was a decade ago. Read; You'll be fine with your fix.
The High Pressure fuel pump - The dealer charges ~400 for the part. This is the same as the Touareg pump (~$40) other than Porsche somewhere updated the design to have both low pressure lines detach (unclip) from the main (drivers-side) pump. (the older 955s and T-reg pump have one LP line perm attached and must be passed across to the secondary pump side) This is a PITA job. --I loath dealing with fluids. Make certain the tank is as close to empty as possible. And in a well ventilated area (outside with a box fan pointed.) Nitrile gloves... The pump assembly barely clears the hole. (fat fingers not accommodated.)
Oh, and the unclipping of the lines does not have a consistent theme. -some squeeze buttons, some slide clips. ..and the High pressure side is on an accumulator - it will fountain for a while (eye protection / face shield)
