Could be many things, but mt bet is MAF sensor.Do you know anyone that can read the codes on VAG to check

Hi... Most likely Mass Air Flow Meter! Ive had two A4 turbos and on both cars ive changed the MAFs because of the lack of performance. You can easily buy them off ebay, but before doing this try cleaning the sensor with cotton buds as this can sometimes work and will save you some money!!

Hi yes all sorted i had a fault read it stated mass airflow meter fault replaced it with a genuine part which i recommend for £50 rather than buying second hand, can save alot of hassle car now runs like a dream! hope this helps.
