Yes, it's misbehaved again. Big time. But only once in a number of short journeys. 
Left my house this evening (car unused for almost 24 hours) and drove up my road (200yards) then did a sharp left uphill at a T-junction and a sharp right also initially uphill at another T-junction just a few yards on into a B-road.
Low power! I went from 1st to 2nd to 3rd very gradually at highish revs (3000+), reaching about 40 mph, before I intervened. After that the car behaved perfectly on a 3-mile journey, as it did on the return an hour or so later.
I plugged in the laptop and ran VCDS - nothing recorded at all. Clean
Went out a bit later, two short journeys about an hour apart again, all fine.
Came back and scanned again with VCDS - an 01119 showing this time in ABS.
