Yes, there is a piece of crap ground wire that VW uses from the back of the intake manifold to the coil mount.  Replace this with a nice thick wire like the size of a battery cable.  Another thing you can to is also replace the positive battery cable that goes directly to the starter.  Your car will start like a champ after you fix these.  GL
