nice compensation!!

does anyone know the supplier of the high pressure pump? Bosch, Siemens, Hitatchi?

Basically when the high pressure pump fails, you are relying on low-side fuel pump pressure which is probably 4-7bar which is certainly not enough considering during normal operation its 4-12Mbar. Obviously the injectors are designed to open with 4-12Mbar, not .4-.7Mbar. Limp-home mode = bad, potential walk home.
