i had similar problem specially when car at standstill i found there are 2 fuel pumps on golf gti 1 in the fuel tank and a 2nd main fuel pump at back offside wheel this was buzzing because the pump in the tank was faulty and the main pump was doing all the work,when moving the main pump was getting cooled but at standstill it started to overheat and buzzing,so look at the puymp in the tank (also is the cheapest pump) £15approx
