At 176,000 KM there has only been one issue. Fuel pump! It was covered under warranty. No issues at all with timing chain or related parts. Nothing else at all.

Finished! I got the new fuel pump installed last night (finished right at 10pm) and took it for a short test drive with just a 1/4 tank of gas. It looks like everything is working properly now, no surging, no stalling, and it idles better now than before

I've only had one warranty issue, a fuel pump was acting up. Didn't strand me or anything but was causing a rough idle due to cuting out one time. Restarted the car and it was fine, took it to the dealer anyway and they replaced all the fuel pumps under warranty.
My sister's fuel pump was causing poor mileage in her 2015 mk7 golf sel - it eventually failed and was replaced under warranty and the car now gets as advertised...
Easier said than done to install the B6 fuel pump into the corrado tank. The pump fits but the top flange's outer edge needs to be ground to fit the locking collar. Then the inside diameter of the locking collar has to be opened up.
my OE fuel pump is tired, needs to be replaced soon but its check valve is still holding pressure.
Reportedly the aftermarket ones don't last too long. That's why I had ultimately decided to keep the OE 14 y/o pump in the van
Since the original pump was strong and quiet I decided to reuse it as well and keep the new pump as a spare. I decided to let the perfectly working OE pump run its course.
I had similar problem, and have read of others when fuel is below 1/3. I had just changed sticking fuel pump with new and developed the problem. I thought it might be fuel level calibration, but it took another new pump to solve it for me.
Wonder if it's fuel related, that happened to my CC turned out to be a Fuel Pump Issues in the gas tank.
