Fuel starvation when picking up revs
My son and I have just bought a 1989 gfi cabrio mk1 golf it's awesome but I have a problem with it missing (fuel)
When the revs a kept under 3000 ,all ok but when you accerate through the rev range towards 5000 the car misses
There is a noise coming from the rear of the car by the drivers rear wheel ,thought it was the pump but it appears to bbe the accumulator can anybody help

heres mine
check you can hear this one running also as a start, if not remove it by removing the 2 pipes and the plug and knocking the outside edge round (anti clockwise to remove) and pull it out, be careful as you fuel sender is part of this too and it all only just fits out the whole, i brought a new pump from gsf last week for 11 quid i think
if this is running you could try changing the filter, the big one in the engine bay and i think theres a small one in the main fuel pump also theres one on the bottom of the lift pump (or transfer pump) in pic above as golfs are common for having rusty fuel filler pipes resulting in loads of rust and crap in the tank ..
see how you get on

Checked the fuel neck and there is small holes at the top so I'm gonna change asap,
Is that noise from the accumulator by the pump outside the tank is it suppose to make a gurgling noise ?
