You need the right pump for the car. Fuel pressure is around 70psi... twice that of most fuel injected cars.

Looks like you're off to the auto-recycler near you - grab a VW fuel pump - bench test it with 12V before you walk off - the bad pump was probably why the car was parked in the first place -
