Long story short, well shortened...
Glow Plug light started flashing last summer, usually when car was warmed up and in heavy traffic, so stop start after a long run. Goes into limp mode and could initially be reset by turning the car on and off. Carried this on for a while before it just came on all the time. Had a friend of mine flush the EGR and turbo with a carbon clean (similar to Terraclean as he does that too) and it solved the issue until today. Similar symptoms - run up to Brands Hatch and then moving through the car park when Glow Plug light comes on.
I'm looking now at the N75 value and the Wastegate Actuator as possible faults as I know when I code it tomorrow that I'll get the same 'Boost Pressure Sensor' (or whatever it was previously)?!)
Any ideas welcome. I know this has been discussed on the Audi Forums in some depth!
Edit: After a night of research I could also look at changing the EGR valve and the Cooler itself - however this is starting to get expensive now parts wise!
