Done a TB re-set this morn using this thread and vagcom. I had some very slight hesitation pulling off from idle from cold and the re-set "seems" to have sorted it (only took a short trip to the shops)

Had mine done today as I changed my inlet manifold last week, it must have been out to start with as it drives a lot smoother now.

Definatly worth getting it cleaned and reset IMO :)

Have you got the full version of vag com Adam? Would you think that a clogged up throttle body would cause hesitation? Just trying to rule things out. Might come and see you if you have the full version

guys....I found a lot of oil in the pipe otherside of the throttle body, I cleaned out what I could but it was quite dirty with oil too... is this normal? Anything you would recommend to do?

was it advertised as the full version?

if it was then I would understand your frustration, but if its not, then you knew what you were buying at the time....
