Gunky intake causing the flaps to stick maybe?

leon cupra rtech stage 2, 3inch turbo back exhaust , forge twintake , r8 coil packs - 323bhp 333ft lb

Garage has advised two faults

One being the inlet manifold actuator diaphragm being shot and the other is the throttle body (under/next to the EGR) has failed so a new unit is needed.

Cant complain though really as I've had the car 4 years and this is the first real issue.

Following the above the cars now sorted and feels better than it has for a long time. Might be the placebo effect but happy nonetheless. My wallet isn't though haha

I feel your main , mines in for cambelt and cam chain to be changed and theyre also changing my big end bearings and doing an engine flush. But at least i have no rattle noises...sounds like a hybrid now which is rare for a tfsi lol good to hear yours is fixed what was the issue in the end?

The throttle body had failed and this was causing the issue (in the other thread) with the sensor not being able to communicate with it. Had this replaced and I had the inlet manifold actuator sorted too.
