i have heard a few on here with similar prob's someone said the ignition could be at fault and also check relays ,  also if you know someone with vagcom that will save you time trying to find the fault good luck.

mine said that , i ended up replacing TB, the wires to the TB sensor and it still played up then took it for a run then checked the relays my ecu relay was hot but my fuil relay was cold so i replaced it and it ran like a dream after that with alot more power and alot sharper of the mark!

Hope it goes ok
