if you have an 80's or early 90's model your pre-pump in the fuel tank is not working if you start the car, lift the carpet in the trunk area, ther is an access port, round cover with 3 screws holding it on remove the cover and put a screwdriver to the top of the tank, and other end to your ear and listen for a humming noise. if not there or your main pump under the car seems louder than usual the pump in the tank is not working. they cost about 90 bucks for it. you also need to get a new pick-up screen if it doesn't come with the new pump. good driving

Injected or carb?
Either way, it is evidently a fuelling problem and I would suspect that a combination of fuel pump (whether mechanically fed via the camshaft or electronic single point fuel injection) and carb / injector failure. If carb'd the unit may benefit from an overhaul, if carb is Pierberg 2e2 then find a bin and replace with a Weber 32/34 DMTL twin down-draught. May even be related to fuel tank/ filler neck debris contaminating the petrol in older Golfs.

It *shouldn't* have stalled, however it did, actual? The smoking is weird and wonderful by using the undeniable fact that often ability an oil leak, yet puddles do not reason oil leaks. of route, in case your windshield is getting moist, there is numerous water being thrown round and it is attending to the ignition gadget. You did not say what twelve months your truck is, or if it has digital ignition or an older-sort breaker distributor. those probably insignificant information honestly do rely.

Don't dry steer it. Get the car moving slightly and then give it a lock. Either that or take it to the mechanic.
If it's stalling, your power steering pump might be a bit broken

It sounds like, and may be, a vacuum leak, open hood and search for disconnected black hose. If you find one look with in reach of the end of that hose for a silver colored stub that fits the hose and plug the hose back on it. If you're lucky.
