On Sciroccos there was a recall on the fuel transfer pump and fuel 
filter.  You can call the dealer and see if your car comes under that 
and if yours was ever replaced.  If it wasn't, you get a freebie!
I had the same problem and had them do the recall work.....end of 
problem.  Mine's an 85 1.8l and it had 110k on it when they did the 
work.
