It can cause limp mode, car will run richer, ignition is being retarded a bit and you will lose some power.

Faulty / failing EGTs usually bring up fault codes which can be read with VAG-COM.
In addition to the above symptoms, you may also experience mis-fires under WOT conditions which will bring on the EPC light temporarily.
