I had the same issues with my car 8v GTI and it turned out to be a small air leak on the inlet manifold gasket.
took it to 2 garages before they found the problem, i also had really bad mpg as when the engine was hot the lamba senser was flat lining and dumping extra fuel in to compensate. Got the garage to replace the inlet and exhaust gaskets and it cure it.
