Clean your throttle body. Is your CEL on?

Any luck on fixing the rough idle issue?? My 03 b6 1.8 is experiencing the same problems and I have done everything under the sun to this car except check for vacuum leaks. What do I look for? Is there a good diy for this out there somewhere?? Thanks.

You adapt the throttle?

if so...

Fuel trims would be very useful information here...
