Well I could be totally wrong here but what if it's electrical?  I had a
hesitation/cutting out problem with a GTI(A2 though) I had.  When turning
the car it would hesitate/cut out.  After a little thought, observation and
thought I realized it was happening when I turned the steering wheel.  If
it started to do it and I quickly brought the wheel back to center it was
fine.  It also acted the same just with the car parked and running.  It
truned out to be the electrical connector to the igniton was a bit lose and
turning the wheel flexed the ignition switch housing causing the problem.
Weird, but it happened.  And I'm not saying it's this but it could be
something similiar with some other connector or wire.
