Engire sometimes starts running really rough and check engine light flashes
A couple of days ago, I was driving when the engine suddenly started running really rough, especially around 2,000 rpm, the whole car was shaking. If I accellerated, some of the roughness went away, but it accelerated really sluggishly. At the same time, the check engine light started flashing. Mysteriously, after maybe 5 minutes of this, it went away and the car was fine. Since then, this has happened 3 more times and the lasts time it lasted for more like 15 minutes. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

You're getting a misfire. If you have vag com scan for codes and see which cylinder is misfiring, swap the coilpack with a different cylinder and see if the misfire follows the coil pack. If its not the coil pack its most likely the ignition control module.
