Repair my car
Make sure coolant level is as it should be. If level is low look for evidence of leak(s). Top off fluid if necessary. The engine coolant temperature sensor is a very common issue with these vehicles and may be the cause of your issues if no leaks are found. Also a faulty thermostat cans cause the sensors to read voltage high but most likely a sensor issue. The sensor is a potentiometer (variable resistor). The computer sends 5v through one of the wires this voltage goes through a resistor which will vary the voltage based on temperature sensed by the engine coolant temperature sensor. The sensor has a negative temparature coefficient meaning the resistance will go down when temperature is high and up when temperature is low. The less resistance the more of the 5 v gets back to the computer. The PCM detects this high voltage and set the check engine light on warning you of an issue. Whe this sensor goes bad it is usually accompanied by temperature gauge fluctuation or erratic operation and the cooling fans run long or all the time even though the vehicle is cold. Hope this helps.

i had to take it in - they have to find the serial number on the bottom of the radio, then call it in to VW and they will give you the code.
SOURCE: 2003 vw jetta gl 2.0 have codes p0351,p0352 and p0353

you may have a problem with yuor ingnition system
SOURCE: I have a problem with
well if you are reffering to the starter cylanoid it on the starter and some starter can have just that part repalced if its avalible and sometimes you must replace the entire starter
if this helps please rate me good
SOURCE: My car is running codes P0011 and P2181. Can you
P0011 - Camshaft positioning sensor
P2181 - Engine cooling temperature sensor.
If you have a repair manual (chilton/haynes/etc) these should be fairly simple fixes.
Camshaft positioning sensor for my car was $35 and took about 15 minutes to change.
2carpros.com suggested the P2181 is also fairly easy to replace
