    Just thought I'd post what happened before I left my current job, we had 2x Golf 1.8L N/A with strong fuel smells in the cabin.
    It was traced to the fuel pump unit under the rear seat - the nozzles that the fuel lines go onto had a hair-line crack and fuel would squirt out.

    The way to solve it is to replace the whole fuel pump assembly and new seal.
