I have 1993 VW Corrado VR6 and had a similar issue. It would die as soon as I turned the car off and would not turn over; however my emergency lights started to flash. I found that the battery connection on the positive side was loose even though it did not look like it. I installed a new battery connector, tightened it on and it's worked fine ever since.
