have you plugged in diagnostics? i think it would show up any injector probs.

i wouldnt spend a penny until you have plugged in diagnostics like acf says

My cars the same when cold sounds like theres a plug out, better when hot but still there!

When you let it idle almost goes away but as soon as you take the revs up back it comes.

Have changed the following in this order:

Plugs-Leads

VW Tech scan showed G40 Hall sender, Changed (still there)

Coil Pack

Chain Tension bolt

VW Tech scan again no faults showing

!!!!!!!!Still there!!!!!!!!

Cleaned:

Air Flow Meter

Thottle Body

Has any one got any ideas

so, winks, you changed the hall sender...but the fault code remained? if so, it could be wiring, or it coudl be the magnet on the sproket (this is what happened to mine)

No, fault code has gone but still sounds like it has a mis-fire still.

then it wasn't hall sender casuing it.

i'd look at leads and coilpack first (spray water over them at night with engine running and look for sparks)...also check for any damaged vacuum tubes (theres one that goes from throttle body to airbox that can easily get burnt on ex manifold)...amd if its obd1 clean the ISV.
