Default Need Advice on Codes

I've posted this is the General Tech forum but think it hasn't been seen enough so I'm reposting it here. Don't worry I'll delete the old one ASAP.

Some questions about a 1998 Audi A4 1.8T FWD.

First, I had my car diagnosed and he found that my boost valve was not operating properly.
The fault code displayed is "04EE/BOOST VALVE OPEN(open) PRESSURE CONTROL".
Apparently it does not always activate on demand. He suggests that I replace it.

Second, the indicator under the speedometer flashes "OIL" everytime I start the car.
I changed my oil 5,000 kilometers ago so I find it strange that the light has turned on despite the fact that the oil is supposed to be replaced every 10,000 kms. I was told that the Oil Level sensor also needs to be replaced.

Third, when I left my car parked in 30degree celsius heat and came back after several hours, the car started weakly and idled below 1,000 rpm and promptly died. This happened 2 more times until i floored the gas upon starting to keep the engine alive. I changed my spark plugs, battery and oil 4 months ago. Why is this happening?

Finally, my key reader does not always recognize my key when I start the car.
The error code displayed is "463A-ENGINE CONTROL UNIT DISABLED/ALARM".
The immobilizer light flashes when i insert the key. What could be causing this problem?

Any advice on the following matters is greatly appreciated.

sounds like you already have the solutions, not much to respond to. I cleaned my oil level sensor and it works great. The 3rd sound like you may have gotten a faulty battery, which would pull on the alternator,maybe slowing your idle.
key ,maybe get reprogrammed. sorry
