This pump must be replaced according to VW. They have since changed the alloy used for the cover plate to prevent this issue in the future. In order to replace the pump, you have to disconnect and drop the transmission, which is why this is so expensive. I'll never condemn myself to dealing with "German engineering" ever again.
