Apart from the throttle body sticking open because it needs a clean, is there anything else that can cause this?

Othan a Good clean to the Throttle body. Cable might need some oil or if it still gets stuck get a new cable

Not sure if it is linked but the clutch sensor looks like it is playing up as well!

My symptoms were accelerating at 50 mph, took foot of accelerator and the car was still accelerating, no clutch use for a while before it happened.

If you press the clutch in does the engine rev to the limiter or to around 2-3,000 rpm?if its the later,could be coolant temp. sensor faulty,i had this fault.Vag-com is the way forward though!

do the revs flare up when you change gear?

common implausable signal on one of the clutch pedal switches

Yes it has done that a couple of times, right up to about 6k, the first one I thought it was my fault in going back to driving a manual but the second time I realised it was the car :)

How many clutch pedal sensors are there and are they all easy to change?
