as the fault seemed to happen after timing belt changed then i would suggest you check the belt timing is spot on,and make sure the crank and cam sensors are ok,no damage etc,are there any warning lights on?
check you are getting fuel to injectors and that you have good compression on all cylinders and then get back to us here

You would be better taking it to another garage that know more about VW's going by all the incorrect diagnosing of fault .

yes they check all cylinders and injectors and no warning lights are on. the vw specialist has it from day one .they check the compressions in each cylinder and they said they were fine. then they check the injectors and they were working. then they send the ecu away and at came bk fine aswell and im waiting for them to get back to me about the timming now. and when they use easy start it starts but runs like its running at 500 rpm and not ur normal 800-900rpm.
