Re:
Here's a couple of recalls on the 16V Scirocco...
1. Description of defect:
Fuel pump, located inside fuel tank, could sieze during high ambient
temperatures because of an extreme fine mesh fuel filter restricting the
fuel flow.
Fault:
Erratic operation, poor performance.
Consequnces:
Fuel supply would be partially interrupted, resulting in stalling.
Corrective action:
Install a new modified fuel pump and filter.
2. Description of defect:
A crack can develop in the fuel tank adjacent to a seam weld in the
rear of the tank.
Consequences:
Fuel can leak from the cracked fuel tank which could catch fire in the
presence of a source of ignition.
Corrective action:
Check vehicle with a specially designed tool for the presence of a fuel
tank crack, and replace tank if defect is found.
