Have you checked to see if you are eligible for free coilpacks from VW under the recall?

Have you checked the coil packs?

Start the engine and remove the coil pack harness from the coil pack itself, the engine note will drop, if it doesn't said coil pack is buggered. repeat on all until you find the dead one

I've rang vw and they've told me that there wasn't a recall on my particular vin .
I've also disconnected the wires from the packs individually when the engine is running and they've all made a noise change.
Why do the parts on golfs have to be so expensive. Euro car are asking £90 for the ignition amplifier, and they reckon the list price is £240. Robbing f**k*rs
