1.8T Light load stumble - about to go on holiday.. help!

Evening Chaps,

I wonder if anyone can save my life!
I have a 1.8T 2004 (manual) and It has a light load stumble (hesitation) around 2500rpm.
Its not as drastic as a misfire, makes no diff if the a/c is on or off. and the hesitation is only there for a second or 2.
I have replaced the spark plugs, ht leads and coils. gapped the plugs to a loose 0.6mm.
No stored DTC's.

Under full load the engine responds perfectly, revs cleanly all the way up the rev range.

I go on holiday down to he west country on Friday - Wife going mad as she never wanted the car in the first place (it has been trouble, but have almost sorted it now!).
PLEASE can any one help me before I loose the will to live! (or wife nags me to death!!).

Many thanks in advance

Ian
