Probably the coil pack, or the MAF. Disconnect the MAF and see how it runs. If there is still an issue I would imagine its the coil pack.

VAG cars suffer from all sorts of oxygen senor issues. Mass Airflow (MAF), throttle body, lamba sensors all come to mind as possible issues.

+1 on the coil pack. Most likely cause.

Cheers guys, if its a coil pack will it do any harm to the car driving it a couple of miles to the garage? How much for a coil pack? Is it worth getting all the coil packs replaced in one go, even the working ones?

Once you get the power up she'll run fine, I had the same problem with my Leon, seems to be a common problem.
