Thanks guys, I appreciate the responses
Marcin's guide was really tempting, but I know it would have bothered me, so I ended up buying a new intake. Having called around a number of different countries, I purchased it from Audi USA, saving me a considerable amount over the UK (and German) price.
VAGtech are going to begin putting my car back together now, so the last remaining part will be the new intake when it arrives.
I can't wait to get her back now!
