    How long is a piece of string?

    Get the error codes with VAG COM and go from there...

    It could be dozens of possible causes from simple and cheap to the complete opposite.

    You need to get it properly diagnosed and go from there.

    You won't need vAG com. Any good fault code reader will read it. Post up faults here and you'll get some idea.
    The oxygen sensors give loads of trouble on them so there is where i'll be guessing. As I said get a diagnostic check done first.
