I have the exact same problem on my 99 vw golf ...i only bought it 2 days ago so im not familar with the car yet but still have no idea whats wrong with it.
These had a few alarm issues, check the operation of the rear windscreen washer and make sure it works ok, sometimes the water pipe comes off inside the tailgate lid and the water gets onto the microswitch on the tailgate locking mechanism and this causes the alarm to go off

Don't shoot me. But this is an old problem. The old polos did the same. I used to drive. Then It would just cut out. Leave it standing for around 20minutes. Start it again. And it runs like there were never a problem. Solution.fuel pump relay. Out of my own experience
As far as the overheating problem, check the fan relay switch.The alarm should be as easy as changing the remote battery. For the radio try replacing the fuse, this should get you going.
Make sure the battery is fully charged, and check for corrosion on the terminals/wires, make sure no wires are loose. If this alarm is like my friend's Camaro, a power disruption trips the alarm.
is a cheap alarm. change it wih a proper one. both of you have alarms which is working on the same freqvency. the same alarm, or just weird coincidence.
Hi The only sensible way forward is to get a list of fault codes from the onboard diagnostic system and take it from there. You could either go to a VW dealer, or if you are technically minded you could buy a £15 interface cable, download some free "VAG diagnostic software" and run it on a portable computer.
In some circumstances the car will shut down to "limp mode" to get you home, but I don't think you would have put up with this for 2 years!
