This was replaced about 18 months ago by VW under the recall of pump 
and filter.  That's not to say it couldn't fail again.  How can it be 
tested?  The thought went through my mind that this could be the 
prob, as it is acting similar to when I bought it and had the recall 
work done.  It's not exactly the same, but similar, that's why I got 
a new fuel filter.  I haven't heard the fuel pump buzzing, but then 
again haven't really listened for it.

This is the pump located under the rear seat?  Is there a 
screen on it that could possibly get clogged and needs cleaning?  
Thanks for the help.....
