The idling issue is since the cam belt change.

Sounds serious this can' be the problem can it? The car drives perfect apart from the idling problem and the start up issue.

get the crank shaft TDC and see if it all lines up

Put the car on VAGCOM last night and recorded the idling problem. Recorded the throttle valve as well I'm thinking is it a dirty throttle body? Can anyone diagnose faults from logs as I'm pretty basic when it comes to this?

No management light yet so don't think it's a tooth out. Any other ideas it's driving me mad!!!

I had an issue with engine splutter a year back. Intermittent light. Cleared the code and didn't come back
