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.
