Lucky.......

I did the suspension on my convertible 3 years ago now, and took it 
in to be aligned.  As I was about to pull out into traffic, *bleah* 
it died....yup, the fuel pump!  THis car doesn't have a transfer 
pump, either.


A couple months ago, my Scirocco started dying on me while on the 
expressway....I had put a new transfer pump in when I got it, but 
apparently it was a stock one, prone to frying, 'cause it seemed to 
do the same thing.  Replaced that with a good one from Mark  @ AAB, 
but it STILL sputtered, so I ended up replacing the main pump too.

If you drive too long without a transfer pump (and your car is 
designed to have one), you can toast the main one.
