I don't know if it's the same starter or not, but my daughter's 2003 Jetta just had that problem....good battery, won't crank, just clicks occasionally. It was the wiring grounding tether between the starter, and the solenoid (about 1" long and 1/2" wide). I removed the starter while in her driveway and took it to Advanced Auto to benchtest it....sure enough, that tether cable sparked and smoked when tested. Luckily this happened when she was at home and we didn't need to involve AAA.
