You might check the starter wires. There are three small ones and a large battery cable attached to the starter. Make sure the small wires are making good contact with their respective posts. Good luck
For those who have a fuel injected motor, I've had to deal with corrosion on the relay points in the double relay in the Superbeetle my wife inherited. Car started fine one day and not the next. Double relay info: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=586243
