I don't know if you have done this yet, but it would be worth taking it to a VW dealer and getting it whacked on the VAG tester.
If that comes up with nothing, i would advise having the base ignition timing set. but then if the problem persists, i would try a replacement of the Hall effect sender which is housed in the distributor (note : it maybe cheaper to replace the whole distributor - get quotes first!!!)

Im not sure whether this will be of any help but i have recently had a similar problem and it all came down to my alarm. It is a factory fit alarm and when i use the button on the key to lock the doors it sets the alarm and it was causing my car to cut out for no reason,I started locking it with the key and the problem stopped, hope this helped. :smiley:
