How long were you driving for and did it eventually settle? Or did it keep up that behaviour for more than ten minutes? And how was the drive home? The TSI water pump and thermostat assembly are much one in the same although they come as two parts. They a common failure item. To change is likely going to be a 5-6hr job in a garage. The thermostat housing was just under £400 and the water pump sub £100 last time I got one. If you are going to the hassle of replacing the thermostat housing then the water pump should ideally be changed at the same time since you’ve gone that far.

Thanks, I think you are are right as the only place left it can be is in the lift pump. Away to stealers just now for a part so will ask the question to the guy at the parts desk.

Hi, Seems like a daft question but does anyone know where the fuel filter is located on the 2.0 TSI mk 3 estate? I have a occasional lumpy idle, I cleaned out the inlet manifold and gave the intake valves a good clean last week but didn’t make much difference. No codes to note. Fuel filter has not been changed for quite some time. I have only recently started working on the car now it’s not worth very much and 100k+ miles but has been mine since new. thanks, ali
