dont the vr's have 2 pumps?

yep a electric one.

would look into that..

The electric pump only runs when the engine is switched off, to prevent hot spots in the engine.

[samy_1800_turbo]

so the eletric one should cause a problem then when the engines running

[AudiA8Quattro]

No, the electric pump only runs when you stop the engine.
Check the main pump.
