It works to a point. Did this on my tdi and it wasn't long before it did it again. It works, I guess I was just unlucky.

Water-cooled VW :: Possible fuel pump problem?

My girlfriend recently got a 1992 Golf GL, 1.8L 8v, 5 speed.
It was having trouble starting, almost like it wasn't getting enough fuel, and it liked to chug, just for split seconds at a time though, even at highway speeds.
I replaced the fuel filter, adjusted the accelerator cable, and ran some fuel system cleaner through it. At first it started the first time every time, but after a while (after about the 5th time starting it) it had a hard time starting again. and it seems to be getting worse. The chugging thing never stopped nor got better after the fuel filter being replaced. any suggestions? i also checked the timing but it was pretty much where it was supposed to be.
