Have the cooling system (and cap) pressure tested. Then you can also do a chemical test on the coolant to see if it is being pressurized with exhaust gas:- http://www.arrowheadradiator.com/head_gasket_or_combustion_leak_test.htm

In Europe as part of routine service VW replace the old style obsolete black coolant reservoir cap with the improved "blue" coolant reservoir cap.Usually a damaged sealing "o" ring or tired spring causes the pressure cap to fail, dumping water out of the system.Quote from: Trev0rbri'll try switching the one from my bunny to my jettaJust buy a new (genuine) one, FFS!
