I fought this for a week or two, it turned out to be a bad spark plug wire. I
found this by swaping out the whole set with a new set. I ohmed the wires,
veiwed them in the dark, sprayed them with water, all the tricks but nothing
showed bad. I was sick of playing games with it so I swaped the wires out and
it has been perfect, even blew away the emissions test. It is worth a try if
you have a second set around. I have many VWs so I just used a spare set.
