The change to the 10-pin switch is basically the start of the 2001 model year, but since UK registrations don't correlate directly to Audi's model year (which is August when they come back from their summer holidays) it can be a bit confusing.
Brilliant. Thanks to all who responded and confirmed. Now to beak open the piggy bank.
