Fuel System Problems : Help!

["Dr. Tracy Allan Shahan" <shahan@mail.med.upenn.edu>]

I was looking for a fuel pump relay this morning and found a few sciroccos
at the J-yard but everyone of the relays had the number 321-906-059F and
mine had 321-906 059D.  I went ahead and pulled one.  I also bought a brand
new coil.  I am going out to swap them both today.  I checked my fuel pump
and transfer pump(both original equipment) both seem to be working fine
(listening test, real scientific).  Like I have always been told, if it
says bosch its the best.  I hope this swap works.  Will let you all know. 


Thanks

 Hey Jason, sounds like fuel pump relay to me.  Snag one from a junkyard
and test it out.  if it's not that, then maybe fuel fump is going funky.
is it making any strange noises?

 Having some problems with the list!  This is the 3rd time I've sent this
message...  Hope it goes through!
  
 Oh great Scirocco guru's,
  
     I have been having some problems with my good old Rocco 16V 2.0L
lately.  I'll try and keep it short and to the point.
  
     While I'm driving my car (this happens all the time, though MOST often
when under slight acceleration, and I mean VERY slight acceleration, when
the engine is warmed up).  The car will "cut out" for a second and then
keep on going again.  I can also hear a "clicking" noise (just like when
you turn on your signal light) sometimes in rapid succession coming from
around the fusebox area.  I also looked at my gauges today, and when this
happens, my tach will usually jump up about 100 - 200 RPM's if you look
closely.
  
     I know what your all saying right now... "Damnit, its the Fuel Pump
Relay!".  Well, I'm pretty sure that's what's the problem.  This keeps on
happening more and more often, and it's really getting annoying.  I was
wondering if this problem could go deeper?  Could there be a problem with
my Fuel pump or ignition system?
  
     Also, what the heck does a Relay do?  What is making it "trip"?  Is it
sort of like a re-usable fuse?  If so, then why do I keep on getting
"surges" or whatever?
  
     Help, help, help!
