Haven't heard that and I work for Audi! We advise the ignition procedure, the one you described I believe works if you have 2 keys in the absense of VCDS/5051. The ignition process is for older keys and only works with some flip keys I believe.
Unlock car with the key in the door, put the key in the ignition but don't start it then hold the lock or unlock button for a few seconds. That's how mine pairs back up anyway.
Anyone flogging one for a 1.9TDi 110? Mine's blowing like a b*tch and finding one is proving difficult (want to bash the cat out so no buying one new to butcher for the prices they are!)

Just need to figure out the right Mr Muscle to buy!
If you're mechanically minded and mark everything up then you'll be able to do it in a day. Book time is 3 hours, parts are about 100 quid from the dealers AFAIK. It's pretty easy if you don't rush it.
According to Audi Vehicle management system there's no data whatsoever on it's mileage. Blackburn Audi sold it and that's it. It left the dealers with 57 miles on it.
It also has 3 outstanding recalls on it.
Late reply because I hadn't looked here before but Audi dealers will have to tell you. Drop me a PM and I'll look it up at work if you haven't bought one already.
It has the well known inlet manifold pressure code. I don't know why I haven't bothered fixing the car in all honesty. I just thought they were all slow.
I think maybe something is wrong. Power basically falls off by 2000rpm so guessing no boost. Car still drives smoothly and doesn't hit limp when I'm driving but did on the rollers. Guessing clogged VNT vanes?
The car has never really been fast but never guessed it was that slow. Worst case...
