Sounds like a dodgy MAF to me, classic symptoms.
Have you tried unplugging it and seeing if it feels better ?

A dodgy MAF sensor won't flag up a fault code on a universal code reader. It will show on a t4.

yeap sounds like a MAF

I bit the bullet and got the Pierberg MAF and Synergy 2A+ from Tuning Diesels (RoverRon) and this transformed the car.

I initially only put the Synergy on and it was loads better; now with the new MAF aswell and with the ideal settings on the Synergy the car is super smashing terrific!

Well worth it. Mine is a CDTi auto tourer. I am now routinely getting over 42 MPG too which is nice as I am not hanging about!
