I've had this happen to me twice now....last spring (2008) and again today. If your EPC light comes on and then your rpm jumps up and down it is your throttle body. An easy fix and its up front and on top (on a TT model). The joke, it's the chip that is bad that is attached to the aluminum part but it cannot be bought separately...it will be between $150 and $250. Once the throttle body is replaced to reset the system you will need to turn your car on (without turning over the motor) and wait until all noises stop in and around your dash (maybe 30 seconds) then turn your key back to the off position then start the car. OK, now should I sell my car?
