spark plugs may also be on their way out, might change them as well as they are not expensive

cleaning the throttle body : unplug the cable and all pipes ( make sure to mark them to remember where they should go) undo the 4 nuts holding it and pull it out ( make sure not to drop anything in the intake). use a carburettor/throttle body cleaner spray and spray it with it and wipe it with a clean lint free cloth. make sure you do not use any thing else as the butterfly is covered in a special coating so not to hold dirt on it an you could remove it. let it dry and do everything in reverse order. It is advisable you do a TBA using vagcom afterwards.

use something like this to clean it http://image.gmhightechperformance.com/ ... leaner.jpg

some just spray it on the throttle body in place but I don not suggest that so not to let the dirt and grime go down the intake, apart that if you remove the throttle body you can clean it better

aw spot on mate, thanks
