I think on modern VW Audi engines you dont see the build up of sludge and crud that you would see in older engines.
On a cars that I have not seen in the workshop before I use a product called Forte motor flush. Works well on the older engines.

looking at age of your car , if it has VAG service/regular oil changes i would steer clear . Would be waste of your time and money. Modern oils have so many detergents and chemicals in them that hold the cr*p in suspension that you dont need it.
If you use the stuff in old/high mileage engines it can cause more harm than good. It cleans out all the cr*p that has for years been stopping you rings from blowing/blocking weeping seals/stopping the tappets chattering etc . Can of engine flush turns your pride and joy into a pi$$ing pipe organ
Stick with good quality oil and filter at recommended (or earlier) intervals.

Probably does , but your oil (funded by £m's of R+D ) still does a better job
