How about checking the banjo bolt that holds the fuel supply line to the
fuel distributor, 
they came with a screen from the factory, that was supposed to be removed
on the car's 1st service.

That's the first thing I check on A2's with driveability problems.

Btw, Sciroccos never used the screened banjo bolt... (At least not in the
US.)
