Is there any pattern on when it cuts out? I had an issue with mine (1.6 passat) where it would cut out as the revs dropped to idle speed in neutral or with the clutch down. Throttle body needed cleaning, because the dirt in it was interfering with the throttle position at idle and confusing the ECU. Garage had to reset the throttle position sensor after though, which cost me the diag fee. I would suggest you get it hooked up.

The first step would be to have the computer scanned for any codes or freeze frame data.

2002 VW citi golf 1.4i cutting out

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

There may be no check engine light but that doesn't mean there isn't a code in the ECU. Especially with a misfire. I'd have the codes scanned and see what you got. The cannister issue isn't going to give you a misfire it will give you stalling and rough idle.
Lets see what ECU is saying. You can go to Autozone if you don't have a scanner they will scan it for free. If scanning turns out negative than have a cylinder leakage test done. This way we can determine which cylinder has the problem and what the problem is.
