    Fingers crossed for no damage. Looks like the most vulnerable part is the HPFP, which could fail now or earlier than usual.....

    Who has seen an HPFP survive a full on misfuel? - TDIClub Forums

    According to this article, it's the aluminium bore of the HPFP that fails resulting in metal particles in the fuel system.

    Have now got 2 diesel cars so stay away from the petrol pumps now and partner refuses to refuel in case she makes a mistake.
