[QUOTE="dan71westy, post: 18371, member: 754"] Sounds very similar to a prob i had on my old mk1 golf. The fuel filler pipe was rusting away behind the rear arch. The flakes of rust, water, stones and all manner of crap then accumulated in the fuel tank. This in turn blocked the end of the fuel pick up pipe in the bottom of the tank and the fuel filter causing fuel starvation and running lean. I eventually found the problem months later after carrying out two engine swaps. My old Scirocco was the same. I had to remove the fuel pipe from the inline filter, blow through it (just as well ive got good lungs) then stick the pipe back on and voilla! It would be alright for about 10 miles then do it all again. God i must love vws!!! [/QUOTE]
