You have a problem with the flap in the inlet manifold. It's not unknown in the FSI (many might say this is an understatement).
Anyhow, it is what it is.
The flap changes the are of the inlet manifold, rather like those ramps in car parks that let drive in, but not out.
At higher engine speeds, (simplified, but near enough), the manifold is folded out of the air flow, at lower rpm, it rotates, reducing air flow, and causing the air to swirl.
Google "ssp 222" and "ssp 296" download them, and have a read. It's important to understand how the FSI works, before fixing it.
The error code P1031 indicates the flaps are not moving through the correct arc.

A massive thanks to everyone for all your help. It’s so lovely and appreciated.
@PlasticMac - I’ll have started to read up on Google. In the meantime as I have booked into see Gary at B&F Autos on Saturday morning I’ve asked to take a look and quote when he looks at it.
I managed to fix the rear speaker issue. The connects 2 instructions are not great but spoke to a guy at Dynamic Sounds and helped me get it working.
Still working on the key issue
