Help! 2006 Golf GTI - revving on its own/juddering/turbo issue :(

[AndyPandy]

Hi guys and gals,

My GTI started juddering a couple of days ago and revving on it's own between 1 & 2000 revs.

I took it to a garage who said the throttle body, vacuum, pipes etc were fine.

They said the vagcom? was showing 2 errors - between the ECU and the turbo.

My heart sunk when they mentioned the word 'turbo' as that normally means a bank loan.

The car still accelerates fine which hopefully suggests that the turbo hasn't gone.

It's due to be assessed by a VW specialist on Thursday.

Any ideas? and what the financial implications are?

MAF? I know on the mk4s the MAF causes poor idle. 

What errors did it come up with? You could narrow it down if you know the codes...

The garage identified the problem and fixed it ... £96 for the part and labour.

They said the breather?/value had disintegrated.
