im not overly familiar with the ignition setup on the gti engine, but does it use a hall effect sender on the dizzy to control spark timing?  ive had a couple of vws that have failed due to the hall sender packing up.  the car would run fine till it got hot, would then cut out randomly and would not re-start till the engine was cold.  once cold it would restart then run for a very short period of time.
when it next cuts out, pull a spark plug out and see if it will spark when earthing it on the cylinder head.
