Had a little play on the drive today with VCDS and I'm none the wiser.
Set up to monitor the throttle position and pedal sensors (Engine, block 62) and a few other things such as air flow.
First, with ignition on but engine not running the pedal & throttle sensors all seemed to vary sensibly and smoothly.
Same after starting the car, everything seemed to vary smoothly as I moved the pedal up and down.

That said I haven't noticed the problem for a few days either. The only recent variation is that I have Tesco Momentum in the tank; it's usually Shell "cooking" 95RON. Could that be a factor?

I did check for codes and the only one was an engine coolant high temp warning, which I've never seen before. Possibly from some "spirited" driving to/from the Forest of Dean on Sunday.
