Thanks for the replies, but I believe this is an intermittent fault with the actuation, not the flaps themselves, like I say it seems to occasionally miss actuation - as with the test that was run. Possibly an electrical issue, possibly the actuator itself not being 100%.
The flaps never see the high pressure fuel, they are downstream of them, but the difference in the curve at the end is likely to do with being repeated slapped against the plate in the intake, which will after years start to exaggerate that bend. So they may close slightly further.
The EML hasn't come on for the problem yet, it's intermittent. I'll drive it some more and see where we are. I'm more annoyed by the NOX sensor. I'll need to find out what's going on there, maybe a bad connection, but I'll need to get under it to have a look first.
I despise this engine. I should have listened to people who told me not to buy it, it's got a terrible reputation in the Golf too. The 1.4 was the better choice. If this was a 1.4 it would be error free and running like a dream, and would continue to do so for years.
