i painted my engine cover with wrinkle black engine paint
straight onto the plastic cover
its been ok and no flaking off

update
car seams to be running ok

it must have been the airflow meter plug not connecting properly
now the plug and wires were pushed through the rubber on top of the airbox

Well took the airbox out and all pipes in there look ok
The only thing I can think of is the rubber that holds the wires for the airflox meter was very close to the plug
So maybe the plugs was being pulled out slightly
So its been pulled up the wires and it seams to be ok now
So fingers crossed
But ...

Thanks for the reply
I will have a look on sunday
I have hooked vagcom up and tried the engine but it says too many connection errors
Would removing the baffle inside the box make a difference

Since then on start up the engine revs are not smooth
Jumping from ...

Yeah still got cat and centre box
Not loud at all

Centre box keeps it quiet

I had similar problem
And it turned to be a wire rubbing on the ac pulley
I must have knocked loose when fitting a dump valve
Have a look around the pump to see if that's your problem
Other wise get the pump disconected and try again
Also ac fan on rad could be seized
