My '85 had it (VS).  I spoke to the dealer about it way back in '86.  They
said that is was a problem and they believed it was insufficient grounding,
so they hung about four more on the various parts of the fuel management
system.  Then they adjusted the air in the spare tire, or some such other
worthless fix.  Eventually it went away with an engine replacement, along
with a bunch of other parts.  My poor old van sure learned a lot of colorful
language as we drove across vast expanses of the West.

Anyway, it was an '85, it had VS, and it was well documented by VW
dealerships by that time.
