It could even be one of the 1 way valves in the PCV causing the idle problems,
Neighbours A4 had been into VW 4 times, they changed coil packs and so on, still no joy.
the car ended up at a local vw specialist who traced it to one of the little 1 way valves.

this may or may not help but i have the AUM as well and had this issues around about Nov. i used redex petrol and oil cleaners etc and have had smooth running since, just filled according to instructions gave it a blast down the A12 for a couple of miles and havent had any issues since, for the sake of £10 it could clear most peoples issues
