my scirocco had a similar problem, but it would happen when i put the
brakes on (fuel starvation when stopping.).  my problem was with the
pickup tube(s) in the tank.  when i slowed down, the fuel pump (don't
know if it was transfer pump or main pump) made a groaning noise and the
car would stall.  something about a line in the tank being loose i was
told.
