I'm in Dewsbury had nothing but trouble with this car. N starting to really burn a hole in my pocket. Do u think that's right about ecu having to be bedded in ?

Not sure about ECU bedding in- It does have to learn the new air to fuel mixture which the MAF does - go for a long drive (1 hour or so) or just drive it over the next few days and see how it goes.

What are your main symptoms?  Is it manual or DSG?

It's a dsg. That's wat the mechanic said needs to start reading new air fuel rations n will adapt over next few days. My symptoms are put your foot down n it splutters n takes a while to pick up like mini little backfires bit o white smoke then your off drive it slowly your ok. Tick over seems to b up n down too. Also as I was puting foot down a bit hard for say 30 secs engine manegmant started flashing so I backed off 30 secs later it goes away. Unplug the maf no bogging out but after say 1 minute of hard driving seems to go into limp mode
