Could be several causes. First thing I would suggest would the coolant temperature sensor. They are a common failure. You'll need a scan with VAG-COM/VCDS to check this. Have you had a mechanic look at it?

I had the mechanic scan the car but no fault codes came up, it starts sometimes ok but other times it kinda refuses to start

ok unpluged the coolant tempature sensor and it seems to be going ok, hopefully this is the problem cause the sensor is only 7 euros on ebay
