i'd imagine it's your MAF.... try unplugging it and see how the car behaves without it  :happy2:

I also had this problem arise yesterday, had been away for a few days - went to use the car and could NOT start for about 5 mins, when it finally started I could hear a hissing noise coming from pcv, also kept hissing after the engine was switched off for a few seconds. Replaced with a Rev. L item and all is well.  :happy2:

I have had this problem (fluctuation of idle) sorted today at The TT shop, the lads fixed the fault after checking for boost leaks and cleaning the throttle body but changing the PCV was the answer, thanks guys  :happy2:
