Thanks for the prompt reply MikkiJayne - I think you're right about the risk of condensation and as I have a free evening I will go for a spirited drive and see if any lights turn up during or afterwards. So far so good today on that front - perhaps just a blip? The exhaust does blow a little anyway so I am tempted by a stainless system, and will definitely do a thorough inspection while its on a ramp, whenever that may be.

The odd thing about the seeming misfire is it displays all the hallmarks for around half a second as you push on, then all signs of the issue disappear except for the fluttery revs. Perhaps 500 was an exaggeration but it's quite visible on the counter, and not something I noticed when I picked it up. That said, there is no particularly noticeable drop in performance, perhaps a slight surge as it figures itself out but hasn't alarmed me enough to pull over etc.

I have a friend with a VAG specialist garage in Croydon so I will probably head there on Saturday to see if he can cast his expert eye over it. I guess I'm being precious but I really love this car and want a good few years out of it so I'm prepared to keep it happy!
