I'd check that your fuel pump relay is OK,  and also the fuse, before you
start thinking about replacing the pump.  The relay is a frequent casualty
if the main pump has been overloaded in the past, e.g. when the transfer
pump is dud.
The relay should have '2' on the end of the cover.  If you pull it, the two
largest terminals 
are the pump power supply.  Bridging the corresponding terminal sockets on
the box with some heavyish wire will give a direct feed to the pump.
Alternatively, popping the cover off the relay and manually closing the
solenoid contact will achieve the same. 

HTH,

hey guys,
my 87 16v croaked today (bout a mile from my house)

to make a long story short, for the past two days i have been getting a 
sputter from the car when driving a little aggressively......went to pick up

the shift bushings today and the same thing occured once again.....but this 
time when i let go of the gas, the sputter made the car straight out 
stall......pulled over to the side of the road and tried to get it to turn 
over once again----no luck........also noticed that the main fuel pump wasnt

making the priming noise that it normally does when you first turn the 
key.......i already replaced tyhe transfer pump and i am wondering if this
is 
a problem of the same sort.....please help me get my scirocco out of the 
driveway!!!!

rob
