i have a 94 golf and it makes a weird humming sound when i first push on the gas but goes away once the rpm's are higher and more gas is running in that gear. what could this be.

Not a lot to go on there......

If it is more of a whirring sound that goes away when the revs go up, I'm thinking timing belt tensioner; has the belt been replaced recently? Some non-vw shops forget to replace the tensioner when replacing the belt, and that's bad news.

Is your golf equipped with a air pump? If so this only runs when motor is cold,and makes a whinning spooling noise,completley normal.to see if you have a pump look in the middle bottom half of the front of your motor,its black plastic,and has some hoses comiing out,just to the right of the dip stick.
