Thanks, Goran. I'm quite happy with it, not only has it had the belts done, and a new gearbox fitted but all the toys work too, it has been really well looked after all it's life, featured on TV and also it was an Audi UK car, so potentially a press/management car.
Adrian, the owner has changed the following. - New crank sensor - New cam sensor ^^ £800 in parts alone from Audi, apparently, and that didn't solve it! Also, a new fuel pump and assembly. I believe it is wiring to or the ignition switch itself. We did get it to turn over and run for about 5 minutes, and then it started chocking as if it were being starved of fuel (half a tank in there). My theory is the fuel pump hasn't been fitted right and it isn't picking up the fuel from the tank, I've noticed the fuel pump fuse has blown, would a faulty relay do this, or is it more likely to be wiring/badly fitted pump? I'll replace the ignition switch, fill the tank, and go from there... It'll be fun anyway, it's only a nightmare when you rely on the car, and of course, I have my DS and RS, plus use of the D4 if I really need an '8 fix, it ain't no D2 though...

After i had my fuel pump done by the garage it would cough and splutter at around half a tank and the cut out, and it was the assembly not fitted properly, still scared to run her too low but i haven’t had it die on me since i spent a day in the boot swearing at how rubbish a design it is. So could well be the pump.
Empty a 20L jerry can in it and see if it runs.

Will give that a go, Dezzy. That wouldn't cause the fuel pump fuse to blow though, would it?

Richy - Good effort, but that's a facelift. Thanks, Dave. Will look in to what I need to do to calibrate via VAG COM, top stuff.

Depends on the kind of garage that did the work to date - if a main dealer they probably went for the 'well that doesn't work as intended so we'll change it for a new one and see if it fixes it' rather than following a logical fault finding exercise that'd probably cost more in labour than they could justify charging.
Potentially a day with a decent specialist would sort it if they can work through from first principles. To confirm the switch is duff you need to know which pin on the back should be doing what and at what time in the starting/running cycle
