If you use the search bar you will find lots of threads similar to this. First thing I would do is scan it with vagcom for fault codes.

If you don't have access to it start with cleaning your throttle body and maybe investing in a new DV, it could also be a MAF problem unfortunately there are many parts or things to try that could have these symptoms.

Like I said there are lots of different things it could be but try the big culprits first if you can't scan it.

Definately make sure you have a good healthy car before modding otherwise its going to end up going bang at some point.
