It's a Weber, meaning unless you can find a NOS Aisan carburetor for less than the usual armed robbery it's the best you can buy.

A twin choke Weber, what's not to like?
They've been making carbs since there have been carbs so unless their product quality has plunged since my days on the spanners it should be fine.
I recently swapped the solex carbs for Weber DCOEs for several reasons but mostly due to better parts and support here in the USA. As a learning process, I rebuilt them myself - so I am very aware of the float and needle operation.
Mine had the DCOE and it wasn't bad at all. It was a fun car to drive and felt solid.
I had the DGV on my 77. It was a good carb for what I needed and I liked it.
I've been running a Weber Carb 32/36 for 2 years on my Fox and I only lost about 1MPG, But I love it.
It's a 1835 with 042 heads, balanced crank and 110 cam. I have intakes for dual Webers (no carbs yet) and a 010 for it.
That's a Pierburg carb, I had trouble with mine, but the adjustment screws were shot so I swapped to a Weber 32/36 and am much happier now.
Also might be an idea to remove the round plate under the back seat and extract the fuel guage sender to see if there is any crud in the tank. If it's any consolation, a new filler neck is alot cheaper than a Weber, but you really ought to fit a weber anyway as they are vastly superior to the standard carb!
My 1989 Scirocco GT had exactly the same problem. It's the Pierburg carb that is giving you grief. In fact my Mk2 Jetta did the same. Get a replacement Weber fitted and the fault will be cured. I did this to my GT and the performance was amazing. As a bonus the fuel economy was noticably improved.
