B4 TDI problem

My B4 seems to have a bit of starting problem.

Unless you crank it and pump the throttle it won't start at all, and even then its not guaranteed.

Once its running, it idles fine if a little low (I'm used to over fuelling mechanical pumps so 800rpm is low :D ) but then when you're trying to give it some beans it has brief moments of hesitation like its hitting a derate or something.

Not sure if my fuel pump is knackered, or how to check.

Any help would be appreciated.
