What about the KW screw, though? Has it been checked yet? It could really be the cause, and ignoring it could become very expensive! . . . have you ever checked the timing

Or simply use VAGCOM to log the injection start values.
If something is jumping unexpectedly (and the pump and pressure relief valve must be working correctly!), that confirms the suspicion about the KW screw.

What's the best way to check (kW)?

Try using the search function. You should find a link there; it's quite interesting and well-illustrated.

What do you think about this?

That's the link I was referring to!

dare to go back into the workshop!
I looked and then I looked again, and then I came to this decision (or conclusion - I think that's what I meant).

The workshop says that the fuel injection pump is not building up enough pressure.
What do you think it means, or what would be the symptoms of that?

'The pump is not building up enough pressure, which means the injectors cannot spray fuel.'
