Hi Chris,
Check the throttle cable linkage at the pedal.  This wears and sometimes lets
go or gives "iffy" feel to the pedal.

You'll need to remove the cardboard-like cover from underneath the dash.
Don't forget the screw towards the front of the car!

Get this from the Audi or VW dealer.  Or, make your own.

I hope the fix is this easy.  The tough fix is that one or more of the
springs on the throttle body is gebroken.
