Without joining another forum or spending hours searching and reading, can someone tell me which years have the catastrophic pump failure that sends shrapnel into the motor, which old ones are the best, etc.?
Also, I seem to remember reading about an inline filter that can be installed on later ones to prevent the shrapnel from passing into the combustion chamber? I know that there is a lot of TDI knowledge here and with the latest development, might be a good buying opportunity. Check out this ad, (especially the pictures), I expect lots of these from guilt ridden hippies.
