Hi itteh,have you cleaned the throttle body at all.If you have you may need to get it re-aligned on VAGCOM.

Okay.So i take it you have checked air filter,air intake pipe from filter to throttle body and breather pipes.My breather pipes were pretty gunged up which can cause cutting out.

What do you mean by cutting out? My car currently randomly cuts out while im driving and refuses to start for a few minutes. So just looking to see what it could be that needs fixing.
