The inlet leaks are after the MAF, as that's where flow is metered. Likely points to check would be the line to the flap actuator, and the brake servo.

Mine is my daily, well every other day, shared with Mk1 TT. Shopping, run about, and occasional longer trips, Early Season Meal at Silverstone, visiting family in Bristol, etc.I've not seen the EML again (it's probably tempting fate even typing that ), though not had time to drive her an awful lot. Because there's no apparent problem at the moment I've not investigated any further. Would I consider it as a daily runaround? I don't know, I'm lucky that I've got a regular daily driver to fall back on so it's no disaster if something happens. But it's a lot of fun
Whats the minimum requirement for diagnostics equipment Malc?

The EML will illuminate when an engine fault condition occurs.
Each time the ignition is cycled Off and On, the ECU checks for the presence of a fault condition, if no fault condition is currently active, the EML will be Off.
There are many fault conditions that won't occur at idle, so won't trigger the EML immediately, not until the relavant engine condition is reached. An example is the camshaft sensor, unless it is faulty at rest, a fault will not be detected until the ECU finds that it hasn't moved to the requested position, (Set Point)
Any fault condition, (DTC), is logged however, and will remain in the DTC log until cleared with a DTC Clear command.

Here's info on the inlet camshaft adjustment. Really need to check out related Groups 91, 93 & 94, to narrow the cause down a bit.P0011 = Inlet Camshaft Sensor.
P1504 =Inlet Air Leak.
P0571 = Brake Light Switch.
It would be handy to have access to measuring blocks, and logging, to see what is going on with the camshaft sensor. Could just be a bit sticky, as the car was unused for quite a while.
Same goes for brake light switch, but they're not expensive, and fairly easy to change. Best use genuine Audi.
Inlet Air Leak, is after the MAF, G70, because before the MAF, air is not metered, so a leak can't be diagnosed.
Dodgy hose, hose clips etc?

Thank you . I'll plug in tomorrow and try and find this out, although to be honest I think any fix is going to be well beyond my capabilities. I guess at least it might point a garage in the right directionHere's info on the inlet camshaft adjustment. Really need to check out related Groups 91, 93 & 94, to narrow the cause down a bit.

For me, as you suggest, it's about pointing the garage in the right direction.Thank you . I'll plug in tomorrow and try and find this out, although to be honest I think any fix is going to be well beyond my capabilities. I guess at least it might point a garage in the right direction
