could be a slight vacuum leak somewhere but a throttlebody clean is a good place to start. If you do a search you'll find a guide

fuel trims get reset when you erase fault codes, and a non-reading temp sender will have been making your ECU do strange things with the fuelling.

yeah AGU's are pre-OBD2 compliance so they don't have the 12v there, a genuine vagcom will work on it the ebay copies tend not to work too great on the AGU.

06A 103 221 C for the AGU. We usually keep a couple on the shelf they're very prone to splitting
