I have read every post in this thread!
I have the exact same problem on 1998 Golf tdi ALH Manual . I Change coding to 00001 Automatic and car doesn't have this problem anymore. Will i have any problem if i drive like this with coding for automatic transmission ?
I ran with that coding for a bit and the only problem I had was with the cruise control. With the A/T coding the clutch switch input is ignored, so if you have the cruise control engaged and press in the clutch the engine revs up! You will need to get into the habit of touching the brake pedal before the clutch pedal if you have the cruise control engaged and need to change gears.

If you have manual transmision, You should try to change coding in vag com to automatic, go to 01 engine - login with 01283- recode to 00001
