Have you tried contacting VOA about this? You might mention that your next step will be to inform the EPA about it.

I did speak to VW a few weeks back, they "graciously" offered to pay for the part only- a $200 part.
After reading and re-reading the EPA doc, the manifold can be covered by the manufacturer, but only if they choose to and VW stands by 5/60,000 on that part.

On earlier MK6 GTIs the manifold has been extended out to 100,000 miles.
