The recall is too old, VW doesn't have the relocation part anymore.  It
was a really simple part though.  I made my own fuel pump relay relocation
on one Scirocco.  Another had the recall done with the part mentioned, but
it really wasn't as good of a design as what I had come up with.  The
recall was just a bandaid.  Fix the real problem.  Instead of putting all
the power for the fuel pump through the fuse box, do an external relay to
direct battery power and use the old fuel pump power wire as the "trigger"
for the new relay...thats what I did...and the 1980 rocco is still going
strong (Takes Katy to work and back every day without a hitch).
