Can't guess
You have to follow a diagnostic procedure
that works for whoever checks it out
You need a repair shop to road test it & you drive
with a mechanic and explain things, then they drive it,
and go back to the shop & they start some type of testing
they think is needed
No one can guess from the internet without the car
I would be checking for codes the first day it did that & then not drive it until I had code results
If you got a flashing Mil lamp on the dash or any check light,
you should have gotten to a shop right away

Definitely not the fuel pump. A fuel pump will either work, or it wont. It could be a fuel filter, though unlikely, again if it was clogged there would be nothing. Could be spark plugs/wires, a faulty coil pack, Could also be a handful of sensors (o2, MAF, are a few that come to mind). Does it have a manual transmission? If so can the car be started without engaging the clutch (in neutral)? If so check the 2 clutch sensors attached to the clutch pedal.
Probably a sensor. Go to Advanced Auto parts and have them pull the code. Then google it. Or check out Forums.vwvortex.com

Most likely there is a hole in the air tube. Open the hood and check the rubber tube on top of the engine. If there is a rip, just cover it with some heavy duty tape and it will help on a tempory basis.
