Started fine this morning and didn't cut out. It is a bit milder this morning, so I'm wondering if it is when it is really really cold?
Anyway, I let it run for a while this morning, and every few seconds it would dip in revs and then come back up, and a couple of times dipped to the point where it almost stalled but it came back up again. I unplugged the green temp sensor, and initially there was a rise in revs, and then it seemed to be a bit more settled. Still seemed to hunt a little but was better.
So I have now swapped in a new green temp sensor, and replugged it back in. Started her up and she does now seem to sit much smoother at idle, even if there is just the faint dip/hunt.
I notice there is a blow on the join between my cat and centre box, don't know if this isn't helping the situation? This should be sorted in the next week when she goes in for the MOT.
Anyway, going to go for a drive in a bit just to see how she performs, particularly when coming to junctions and dipping the clutch etc, and will report back.
Would it be worth changing the MAP sensor anyway? And if so, from memory a MAP from a GTI fits the 1.8 16v engines, correct?
Cheers for the help guys.

Opinions are like bumholes. Everyone has one, and we all think everyone elses stinks.
