I assume you have a tip. You'll need a VAG-COM or an Audi code reader
to read and reset error codes.

Honestly, I think you need to take the car to a mechanic that deals with Audi's and VW. No offence meant, but you don't seem to have the basic understanding of engine maintenance and repair. Your safest bet is to let someone who knows what they are doing find out what is wrong and fix it.

In the meantime, you can buy a Haynes manual for 15 dollars, and learn the basics of car maintenance.

pcm? Interesting. Sound like the error is related to that code scanners link to your car. But thats just a guess.

Serial Comm. Link (Data Bus) Message Missing
^ that is the message from the Bently manual

Actually... That kind of sounds like somthing is currupt somwhere in the ECU.

ECU (Engine Control Unit)is basically the "brain" of your car. if the "brain" is dead, or half dead, then the car won't work properly. But I'm just guessing. There could be somthing wrong with the ECu to prevent it from being able to give you the codes you need. PCM is what I really don't get. Someone else on here might know. Its located on the drivers side behind the firewall sealed in a water proof container (has an umbrella on it)

Try diconnecting your battery for 30 mins and hooking it back up. It should reset the ecu. Then try to get scanned again. If that doesnt work, somehow, try to find an ecu from a different2.8 w/same engine(dont know if you have 12v or 30v)/tranny and see if that changes anything. Hopefuly someone will have better advice than that, but it does sound like the problem could be the ecu.
