All plugs surrounding the throttle body are plugged in, throttle body has been cleaned, I unplugged the maf sensor to try that, but it just ran really rough, and stalled unless I kept my foot on the throttle.

I'm booked in for a vag com diagnostics test on Tuesday, so I'll see if any error codes appear then.

Thanks, Mo

An update on the problem -

Cleaned the throttle body
Found out that the guy who i bought my car off fitted the dump valve wrong ( huge vacuum leak, so that wouldnt help!)
(both didnt sort the problem, but they both helped the problem)

Also got my VAG COM today, cleaned all fault codes, and now it is running fine! 
I haven't taken it out for a long drive yet, but by the looks of things, it should be fixed.

Thanks for the support
