You'll def need a new temp sensor. That won't help things and can cause all kinda of idle starting and cutting out related issues

Be sure to get a genuine vw one as copy ones are poor quality and don't last.

Wouldbthis cause the car to try and cut out when the pedal reaches a certain point then burst into life if a lift off or press more ?

It can do. It's plays a big part in the air fuel ratio and if it's failed it'll cause over or under fuelling
