Check icv valve mate, Sometimes they tend to stick a bit and cause an irratic idle, whip it off and clean it with a bit of carb cleaner

ICV is ya idle control valve and MAF is ya mass air flow sensor


Theres ya MAF


when the cars running unplug it and see what happens to the revs, the ICV is a right twat to get to on the mk6/7
