Last week the mechanics said it was the ignition coil and it cost me $350 to get it fixed. It seemed to be fixed for a few days, but it wouldn't start again today.

Damm mechanics.
Always happy to take ur money, but then it's the same thing.
Have you noticed ony other mitigating factors? Heavy Rain? Puddles?
Excessive heat?
You MIGHT want to consider using your VW dealership. They usually know all the quirks of their models, and know exactly what to test.

that happened to me once and a friend mechanic told me it was the crankshaft that goes bad and had its installation from crankshaft canada.. but i wasn't sure if changing the old crankshaft of yours can make it work out.
