Did that solve it?
I bought a replacement TPS but decided in the end (supported by VCDS readings) that it probably wasn't the problem as the symptoms weren't of the appropriate pattern.
So if anyone needs one, I have one spare.

Pulling out of a side road and accelerating the car only speeds up "gently" not "urgently" as I expect.

I started this thread four years ago having had the car just one month!  It's been a randomly intermittent problem for all that time.
