Filed Aug 6, 2002 · Fuel system · CA

The car stalls out of no where while I'm driving. I recently changed the fuel filter w/ the tune-up but it still does that. Can it possibly be the fuel filter? I heard about the faulty fuel pump. How about it? Does 1994 golf have one? Please, let me know. Thank you!
