I had an 1981 diesel Rabbit truck that would also runaway when you got it up to speed. That overhead cam splashed so much oil around at high RPMs that the PCV system would suck it up, feed it into the intake manifold and away youd go!
It was like a poor mans cruise control- just merge onto the X-way, throttle up and let nature take its course. You kept it under semi-control by weaving through traffic and using the brakes. If the engine got below 3000 RPM, the spell was broken and you were back to boring ''manual'' driving mode.
VW eventually came out with a tent-like baffle you put under the valve cover and over the camshaft to direct the oil downward and ruined all the fun.
