Could be a wheel bearing, CV, wheel out of balance. Tough to daignose over the net. Check the torque on the axle nut.

I had a very similar problem that gave me fits trying to figure out what was causing it.  I balanced all my wheels, changed all of the engine/tranny mounts, and changed both front wheel bearings.  Turns out that both of my inner CV joints were bad.  They are a pretty weak design IMO.

Here's how to check:

Put your car on an above ground lift, the kind that allows for all 4 of your wheels to hang when it's lifted.  Lift the car and have a buddy observe your axles and front wheels while you "drive" the car.  Your friend should be able to notice any vibrations in your drive wheels/axles while they are spinning.  If your wheels are balanced and your wheels/axles are vibrating you probably have bad axles/inner CV joints.

If it turns out that you've got some bad drive axles, I recommend www.raxles.com.  I bought their upgraded drive axles for about $700 for the set.  They come with a full lifetime warrenty and are actually cheaper than buying a set from VW. icon_driving
