1.5 Manual: kangarooing not fixed?

Hi chaps,

my car (about 1.6k km by now) has started to annoy me in a few respects:

- when starting after some >4-5h stay it would raise rpm to about 1 400 for about 1 minute no matter of external temp - when it was 20C it still did it. This looks like a quick & dirty fix for the below issues but if I have to drive away it stays at that rpm and speed at which I have to maneuver is quite unpleasant. My neighbor smiled at me one day when I literally flew out of the garage

- when of 1st after the above start, car increases rpm but does it on a ladder way as when old petrol engines used to choke. Especially bad if climbing. After some few minutes this settles but it is still there - even when hot I can feel & see on the rpm gauge how it does it, although much more gently

- even when hot and been driven around, often on 1st when I have to take off on a traffic light, it would initially move forward normally and when it hits about 1.5-1.8k rpm it would suddenly loose power for some microseconds (well, enough to have to front choke and look like i`m learning to drive)

I will go to the dealer when I manage to find any time at all, but it all seems like the dreaded kangaroo although with some fix applied. VW claim it was completely fixed. Car has the inbuilt alarm and was produced sometime end of July or beg of August (not sure if MY22 or MY23).

Is anyone else still getting any of the above symptoms and was there a fix offered by VW, i.e. a patch if software or some service campaign?
