Does the car from cold start smoothly or does it splutter?
Do you have VCDS to check for any misfires?
A failing injector may give you this symptom .

no it starts fine no splutter or anything, it drives ok to its just when i put my foot down to accelarate eg getting up to speed on dual carridge
i havntt got vcd so cant check, thinking about it it started not long after changing the cam follower, but surley it only goes in one way so i cant have messed that up

As SS mentioned, I think your first port if call is a VCDS scan. Where are you located?
