well, i keep between 2K and 2.5K on the gear changes so i wouldnt thought it was that, and i drive like an old fart around town and only floor it when on motor ways to over take, what could it be i wonder? there is a smell of fuel from the back end whilst on idle, wonder if theres a faulty sensor somewhere maybe?  :undecided:

Yep definitely an issue there. Check you haven't got a massive hole in your exhaust somewhere.

I've got two holes in mine, but VW say they should be there  :undecided:

Yeah I wasn't sure if they knew what they were talking about, so I went to a few other places, showed them the two holes and they said it were fine too.
