So, checking my service records, plugs were done in 2011 @66k km, so I've only gone 35k since then. Guess it's unlikely to be that.

So - ordered new coils, and bought new plugs. Turns out my Cyl 1 coil had a big flap of rubber torn - not sure how, but obviously it was leaking spark.
Runs perfect again - pulls smoothly without stuttering from low RPM.Attached FilesCurrent - 2007 Golf GTI, DSG, RCD510, K&N Panel Filter, BSH PCV revamp, Bluefin Stage 1 tune, 18" Omanyt's with RE003s.

That rubber seal just helps to stop water getting into the spark pot mate, it doesn't hold the spark in.
