Answers:
It sounds like the cheapest option long run would be to let a VW dealer or non franchised independent to hook you;re car up to there computer.
it could save you money in the long run, before taken it in though its worth checking all the electrical connections and air pipes(especially the EGR valve) first.
GOOD LUCK
Fuel starvation look for a blockage .
Have you got the correct fuel cap fitted? May sound odd but friend had similar problem (not Golf) and when I checked it for her, she had lost the original filler cap and fitted one without breather hole. After continuous driving vacuum doesn't let fuel through. The clue was the sucking noise when I removed cap.
I had a similar problem with a turbo unit, it turned out to be the air inlet for the unit had become blocked and collapsed when i got to about 65 Mph.
sounds like an exhaust problem. Those cars can only run well if they can put out the exhaust with no obstructions,
I once Had a second-hand Rover and tried all things since it would back fire and loose power on acceleration. I put in a fuel cartridge to boost the fuel. improved, but then took it to a good exhaust dealer and found out someone had put the wrong exhaust on it. went like a new car, so check your manifold and exhaust there may be a blockage of build up. or may be you too have the wrong bore exhaust
fuel filter maybe? or even the pump could be faulty. I had that once , cost me a fortune then i changed the pump and it was sorted.
