After 3 years with my '02 TT I don't freak out when I pop a code. However, the past two weeks I've popped the P0300-3 codes twice, always with a short burst of blinking CEL, followed by steady CEL. I haven't had a misfire for 2.5 years, since my last tuneup, so I'm a bit concerned. Especially by the blinking CEL.
I'm going to talk to my indy about it but would appreciate any advice.

not even knowing what those codes are at the moment(?) i'd bet you just need to r&r the plugs and do a bit more pro-active ( well, it WOULD have been *pro-active* ) maintenance. if the car is tuned? your plugs are FRIED by now, for sure. tune it up and dollars to doughnuts.. problems solved. GL with it.
The codes say one bank is misfiring. Along with checking plugs/Coils check your cam solenoid brackets too. It could also be a vacuum leak on that side.

if you have "cam position sensor" cels, that should show in the result of the OBD reader. at least they did for me. simple replacement. at 16k miles i wouldn't suspect plugs and coils as per my earlier post. GL. as to "brackets"? never had that one come up.
