There is sum parts in the it that are loose i think because when the ignition is on you can hear them vibrating, this has caused it to not start now. when the connecter is unplugged the noise stops. it needs new components (circuit board etc inside) have been told i cant get them, only the complete thing.

Have you tried Volks-Apart dismantlers? See under www.volkswagenspares.com. I got a throttle body for my 2001 16v no problem.

I have the same car and had the same problem. After 6 months I found a company called www.vagcomponents.co.uk. Â£150 + VAT for a brand new Throttle Body with 12 months warranty.

Check that is the problem because its a lot of money if it doesnt do the job
