Quoting peter <peter@thescirocco.com>:

I also think it's the in-tank transfer pump; my '84 8v did the exact
same thing
until I replaced the in tank pump.

And if you haven't gotten it already,  two really great places to buy
parts for
your VW are:

1) Adirondack Auto Brokers (http://www.germanautoparts.com) Galway, NY
518-899-7807.  Tell 'em the Scirocco list sent you.

2) Virtual World Parts (http://www.parts4vws.com) Temecula, CA a/k/a The
Potterpeople.
