If a car backfires, the fuel mixture is incorrect. I believe it's too lean. Also, timing could be off. Try increasing the fuel mixture with the jets on the carburetor. You may want to reference your VW shop manual for which one to use. If that doesn't solve the problem, then have a garage time the vehicle to make sure pre-ignition isn't happening.
