Any ideas?

Sounds like what I had a couple of years back. If I'm correct, it was the throttle position sensor failing, sending dodgy signals to the ECU, and the car going into a sort of limp mode - throttle flat to the floor, and only a hint of acceleration, and ABS light on. Turn off and on again cleared it a couple of times, but I ended up getting towed from just off the M6 North bound when I started panicking that it was gearbox related and lost my bottle.
Had it replaced at Audi in the end.
