Started up yesterday but sounded a bit weak. Drove it a mile from my house to somewhere. Turned it off for at least twenty minutes, go...

    1.8t Throttle Body

    After a bit of research, I have finally found something but on a 2010 VW Golf GTI which looks exactly the same as mine - Would I need to change the gasket? If so, can someone please tell me the part number to the correct gasket? Thanks.
