SPAM-LOW: 84.5 wolfsburg problems



It's most likely the transfer pump.

I have a Pierburg, that was slightly used, $25 shipped.

Subject: SPAM-LOW: 84.5 wolfsburg problems

While driving home this morning  my 84.5 8v seemed to be running fine. About
a mile from my house it started to sputter, lose power and then died. After
a few minutes it finally started again and i managed to get it home bucking
and sputtering the whole way. It didn't matter what gear i was in the car
wouldn't rev or go more than about 30 mph. After i got home i shut it off
and tried to start it again. it is very hard to start. sputtering and
bucking while cranking. the strange thing is once you get it started it
seems to run fine.  In neutral i can let it idle and it revs no problem but
when i actually try to drive, it sputters. all the fuel pumps seem to be
running although the transfer pump seems much quiter than normal. It was
always seemed very loud. it is the dreaded vdo transfer pump but it's less
than a year old.  i tried to different fuel pump relays with no changes. I'm
just looking for any insight before i really start diving into it tomorrow.
