Glad you fixed the issue, although that black sand could well be the lift pump starting to break up. Meh, if it starts happening again at least you will know where to start looking.
I don't think those flakes come from that ring either, since it doesn't feature on other engines with the issue. I suspect it's from the injectors or pump, but i've got no evidence and it's not really important so i never bothered looking into it properly.
I just took this from a new scirrocco earlier today (no lift pump), in case anyone wanted picture evidence:
....hmm well i did, but it seems reluctant to upload over 3g, maybe later.
