There could be several reason that I can think. I am sure there are more.
1 - Possible Vacuum leak (it has happened to me)
2 - Possible bad ground (check all of them)
3 - Possible fuel starvation (fuel pump or pumps faulty or blown fuses or relays)
4 - Possible faulty fuel gauge or indicator problem (empty but not showing)
5 - Possible Alternator bad (not charging or bad connections)
6 - Possible bad battery
I am sure there are several other things that could cause it. Is it automatic or standard? Also are there any other symptoms or anything that has happened to the vehicle recently? Answering some of these questions and using the process of elimination will eventually lead you to find the specific reason your VW is stalling.
To everytome, feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. I am writing this because of my many years of owning and personal experiences with VWs and a Cabriolet I currently have.

The Volkswagen Cabriolet is not being made anymore. It's final debut was in 2011 for the 2012 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet. The Cabriolet was first designed in 1987 and was considered to be one of the founding fathers of Volkswagen's designs.

The turn signal flasher on the 1987 Volkswagen Cabriolet 1.8 liter FI SOHC 4-cylinder is mounted in the fuse panel. Look under the dashboard on the driver's side.
About 23 MPG city and 29 MPG highway depending on how you drive and how much weight is in car such as passengers. The 1987 VW Cabriolet auto actually gets good gas mileage provided the engine is running properly even if compared to current similar sized cars.
No, it is not.
