You really need to get the codes read, I have had a problem recently which, through experience, I would have said was a cam sensor, as it happens I am just about to change my coil pack as have a misfire on cylinder 1............... :(

Symptoms Point to the cam sensor, but you need to get the codes read.

As I've said before, if it is the cam sensor - only buy one from a Vx dealer, do NOT buy one from anywhere else, even if it's supposed to be 'genuine'.

I had very similar symptoms, changed the cam sensor, and maf sensor, all is well, have to say, only had cam sensor on me fault reader, but picked up a maf sensor for under a tenner, yes under a tenner ;) and put it on, as changing the cam sensor I still had a lumpy tick over on a morning, get it checked though on a reader though, and make sure. OH by the way, noticed oil on the old cam sensor, so changed the cam cover gasket as well just to make sure. Good luck with it. :y
