Think that plug's for the inlet air temp sensor?
Hunting and struggling to pull sounds like a broken MAP sensor though.

As above, the black 2-pin plug is unused on UK cars.
(for reference of the above posters, on a GTi-6 the IAT plug is grey and the ICV is a black 4 pin ovalish connector and not a JPT like shown)

Throttle heater plug is yellow and is used on UK cars despite not really being needed in our mild climate.

Damn was hoping its be the problem, is a map sensor likely to go faulty all of a sudden?

They can do, as can ignition coils - both common on '6 engines.

Any idea what it's used for on the non-UK models? Something to do with cruise control maybe? Just intrigued now lol.

Can do yeah. One failed on SRowells 1.8 without warning...at the time we went to the scrappy to get a load of spare sensors to try...all except a MAP sensor.  
Ph2 '6s aren't OBD compatible are they? And I guess you don't have PP2k?

Yeah didn't think they would be. They didn't need to be OBD compatible until 2001. So it is only Pug Planet you'd be able to check with unfortunately.
Might as well try the MAP as you've already got it spare though!

the weather became considerably colder over the last few days mate, so possibly that had an effect on the vehicle, and this wasnt a noticable issue prior to that.. but now is..
