    Did you chisel through something important under the dash when you removed the radio? Cables to the immobiliser?

    Not bringing you any good news with that symptom unless you have a clagged starter or were tying to start it in gear.

    might be a burnt pot sticking in a bore or a seizing bearing.

    Did it get any better or worse when it cooled down starting wise?

    How steep a hill? Is your lift pump clogged or stuffed?

    A fuel problem is on the cards. I'm sure there was a post earlier in the year about problems with TDIs and BIO fuel.
