Chances are it's just the switch, if you search on here there's a post every couple of days that comes down to 'replace your ignition switch'!

The part's cheap (make sure you get the 4B0-905-849 one, not the A version, for your early car) and changing it is pretty easy with just a small screwdriver required...except for having to cram yourself into the footwell head first and upside-down to reach it!
