Check the plastic blocks green and white iirc on the fuel lines for any leaks, its a common problem. They are near the left hand top engine mount.

Although it's no longer available new, it's worth trying to get hold of a good example second-hand. As GTi's get tubbier and cooler, it's nice to remind yourself of why insurance companies hate hot-hatches so much.-Top Gear on the 6 Apr '01. Black 6
