Have you connected the car to VAGCOM (VCDS)? That would give you an indication as to what the problem is..

Very good news thats your cam belt is OK, my car is the same age and mileage and I was starting to worry!

VCDS is your best bet to getting it solved, other than that, have you checked if its getting spark and fuel?

Hope it's covered under your warranty :)

At least you've hopefully got to the bottom of the problem :)
