One problem at a time. Modulation has nothing to do with fuelling. Moving pump mid section will not change that. I want to see 45% to 55% modulation at 750 RPM first, then we can move on from that.

It should be at around 13-15l/100km with normal town use or within 1l/100km error.
To me it's clean that middle section position is set wrong.
And timing modulation can't be set with unstable idle - it will go nuts because ECU cuts fueling to prevent engine runaway with too much fuel and no load.
Search for "hammer mod" on VW forums, it's the same construction of pump and quantity adjuster.

N2O, tell me why it's not a constant occurance , if it's the center section?

It's all dependant of each other.
Last time i've changed only quantity on one of mine, and modulation went from 43 percent to almost 60.
And when you bump fueling too much, modulation jumps across full range(10-90%).
It's not that simple as you think.
You will never have stable timing modulation with badly adjusted fuel quantity - it behaves in totally unpredictable manner.

Is this the one you changed the pressure piston size, so that the fuel injected was far greater than the ECU fuel map was setup to encompass. No bloody wonder it ran rough. The more fuel you inject the faster the engine runs. It is not a good idea for this guy to play with pump centre section at the moment. He has no working stop solenoid fitted. Normally the quantity servo shuts the engine down, the stop solenoid is just a back up in case the servo fails and the engine runs away. Playing with pump centre section without a working stop solenoid would be seriously stupid.

Last saturday I replaced the stop solenoid too after adjusting static timing.
Now waiting for the CPS .
N2O's suggestion will be last resort, hopefully.
Also, now I can start her immediately after shut down, say within 5 -10 seconds.
How is it possible with hot start issue?

Because the internal pressure has not bled off after 5 or 10 seconds that is why. .

I'm watching Wamsy Wams, if he were an olympic figure skater he'd get my 10, only downside to that weird thought would be having to squirm every time he cocked a leg doing sexy skatery crotch reveals, but with the yardage of undergarment material seriously under-estimated....yeek
Wams, you da man.

I guess the internal pressure bleed off through the pump's return line on top.
If that's correct, if one can control the return line, say by a 12v fuel control valve or similar ,to close it with engine, then the 'hot start' issue should not be there.

Not a good idea, wait until you get everything right then see what you have.

Today checked the EDC system with nanocom. Strangely, there are no faults recorded. Yet, timing modulation remains within 40 and 93-fully warmed engine, idling. Also, randon fluctuations at idle is there, no change.
Should receive the CPS by next monday or tuesday. Hopefully, it will solve the issues.

If the static is set correctly, the only possible reason modulation can be anything like 93 is that the ECU is trying to correct a discrepancy between the point of injection indicated by the number four injector and the CPS. Difference in RPM indicated by the needle sensor and the CPS should NEVER be more than 40 RPM.
