back fires are usually a result of bad timing, not bad fuel pumps. I would
get the timing checked oin this car.

Subject: Fuel Flow Problems
Hi Everyone,
My husband recently bought be a 1984 Scirocco 1.8 8V GL I'm very happy
with the car, apart from a recurring problem. If you drive it for about 10
minute, it starts to backfire and then cuts out totally. After 5 minutes
you can start it again, drive for 10 minutes and the same will happen.
Unless you drive it hard, then it was cut out straight away :)
My mechanic replaced the fuel pump which cured it, but after 500 miles it
has started to do it again. I'm wondering if contaminated fuel is wreaking
the pump as the fuel tank is probably in a rough state. Is this likely, and
if so what are my options?
Thanks in advance,
Louise
