The only one I can find is 17090 transmission range sensor --

You need to do it with VagCOM not the std OBDII to get the real Audi codes

Check with a dealer for recalls in regard to the catalyst bank 1&2 codes. Tech bulletin C260503 is about a reflash of the ECU to correct the thresholds because they were set too high from the factory.
