but to be a bit more constructive. sounds like neither a clutch problem (phew  ) nor an air problem. that leaves spark and fuel. fuel starvation from blockagein the line or bad/poorly gapped plugs or lines. could also be maf or o2 but start with the basics 1st |
Fuel filter?, injectors, plug wires?
It's so hard to trouble shoot over the phone or on-line. I used to get people calling me with "it sounds like__________" (insert man made clanking, screeching etc... sound here.) If I wanted to deal with it I'd always tell them to either bring it to me or let me come see it.
In doing some reading on these VW engine (I assume gas not diesel?) vacuum leaks are a major issue, something Katyana(?) mentioned as well. But it could be a lot of things- a loose wire on a fuel pump, a short on the lead to the O2 sensor, bad set of plug wires. Man, the possibilities are endless.
