We were having problems with our 1.6 FSI also. It was sluggish and hesitating. The engine management warning was also coming on intermitently. Like a coilpack problem, but they were all checked and ok.
The dealer checked it out and said there was probably a valve sticking due to carbon build up. They told us to try 4 treatments of Wynns engine cleaner and it appears to have worked. The car is running much better.
It's very difficult to get anyting other than 95 RON in Ireland. The AA ran a campaign a few years back showing that very few (if any) cars on the market needed it. The garages responded by taking it off sale. Only Shell sell it AFAIK. I would be surprised if it made any material difference to the performance of the car.
