Not sure about VW's but there are two different pumps, late S2 models (after 1992 i think) had a different pump and wiring connector, BTDT. If you havent tried it kill its power completly and see does it come back, i had issues with my alarm being wired into it, after a week or so it would pack in and stop working, after a reboot it would starting working again for another week. I disconnected the alarm from it in the end and its worked perfectly ever since so try disconnecting the battery and see does it reset.
