My first guess is a loose connection, likely at the battery.

Please post generation specific questions in the appropriate forum. I'll move this to the MKIII section

Well, if all connections are good then I would pull the starter, take it to an auto parts store, and make sure that it still functions properly.

Check out these two links, they can be very helpful in diagnosing and repairing problems:

MKIII TSRM (Online Factory Repair Manual)

MKIII TEWD (Online Electrical Wiring Diagrams)

Other useful and informative websites can be found in the MKIII FAQ section on this forum
