If it is the ignition switch, stay away from the really cheap ones. They are made of very brittle plastic and will fail quickly. My original switch lasted 13 years. I bought a replacement from NAPA and it lasted 6 months. When the first switch failed, the headlights stopped working. When the second switch failed, the switch kept re-engaging the starter after the car was already running. As Particlewave said, if it is the ignition switch you will see some funky stuff going on.
When you do need to replace the ignition switch, one way to know you are getting a better switch is to figure out if you need the part number part 4B0-905-849 or 4A0-905-849 and buy it at a VW dealer parts counter or from someone that sells genuine VW and or Audi parts.
