Park vehicle on level surface. Chock wheels, jack passenger side rear of unit and place on jackstand. Using 13mm socket remove the 4 nuts holding the fuel pump, fuel filter and accumulator bracket as a unit from the body. Lower the bracket, don't over stress the lines or wires. Loosen the 2 banjo fittings in the accumulator. Loosen the strap that holds the accumulator body to the bracket, 10mm. Maintain the same in and out relationship, install the accumulator. Install the banjo fittings, tighten to 6-9 footlbs. Run the engine to check for leaks. No leaks? Re-install the unit onto the body.

You don't! Vw's use a CIS fuel injection system (CIS stands for Continuous Injection System), the fuel accumulator holds the fuel pressure when the car is off, so it can start right up when you crank the engine again, since fuel is right there at the nozzle tip of the fuel injectors.

1981 VW Rabbit hard to start when hot?
Could be bad compression, with a bad head this problem gets worse with higher temperatures. Hard starting at hot could be a failing ignition coil, does the engine miss under load at hot? It could also be a failed fuel pressure accumulator or fuel check valve. Scrooch under car, find the fuel accumulator ahead of rear wheels on passenger side. Next to the fuel pump (the noisy unit humming along during operation) there is a can with 2 lines going into it. It's smaller than a soup can. If the car has high miles I would just replace the accumulator as it will probably have failed in the 28year old car. If replacing the accumulator doesn't help, replace the check valve on the fuel pump.
