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.
Pros: love it, lost 1MPG
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Fox
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.
Pros: balanced crank
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
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.
Pros: much happier now
Cons: adjustment screws were shot
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!
Pros: vastly superior
Cons: alot cheaper
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.
Pros: amazing performance, improved fuel economy

Volkswagen Scirocco
the 1200 I always figured was more reliable. the 1600 is good but in the later years the carb got to complicated. A damn 34 Pict 4 is a nightmare. Electronic choke The carb on my 1200 is very basic, has manual choke and actually restricts the motor from reving to fast because it acts like a restrictor. I have a friend that swears by 1500 single ports too. At any rate...my 1200cc has been running 46 years and still hasn't required a rebuild. Personally...that's pretty good
Pros: reliable, basic carb
Cons: complicated carb, electronic choke
