Stabbing in the dark at a landa/egr wiring issue, possibly chaffing wires, throttle pedal is on same loom. Scan it with vcds. We cant read your cars mind!

I think his car is an AGU...

Personally I think its an airleak thats causing the issues and the OP is confusing the symptoms...

A scan for fault codes and some elaboration on the symptoms would be a start

Ok... had a quick look at the OP's other posts and it appears he has an A3 quattro... guessing its a 1.8t and will be DBW...

Still think its an airleak...

Hay guys sorry been at work yea it is a W plate 1.8t Quattro, could coil pack problems do this ?

low battery will cause throttle to not want to work...
check your fuses also...
earths..

and if you have access to someone with vcds, that will help diagnose things
