I had similar problems with an AUDI ( same engine) Turned out to
be leaking fuel injectors when warm which flooded the engine and
soaked the spark plugs. Do you smell a gas odor in the engine
compartment when this occurs?

After years of flawless starting, our 2002 Weekender has recently
started to be difficult to start once its been run for a while.
?No problem at all when starting when cold, but when warmed up the
starter needs to be cranked for a long time before it catches, or
several cranking attempts are needed. ?I've tried giving it no gas
while cranking and lots of gas, but that doesn't seem to make any
difference.
Our local VW repair shop tried changing the air filter, but that
made no difference. ?Does anyone have any suggestions on what to
try next?
Many thanks,
