Brake servo leaking

Dear John, I am glad you only replaced that switch! The best action to take for that symptom is to have a mechanic unscrew that O P switch and insert a oil pressure gauge and test the oil pressure with a meter, hot and cold. If it is not up to par when hot, there are several possibilities. 1) If the oil is fresh & the right viscosity, you could have a failing or a leaking oil pump. It can leak inside the engine. 2) You may have a plugged up oil screen on the oil pump. 3) You may have a bearing or some other such part failing causing an engine oil hemorrhage inside the motor. An authorized and helpful Audi dealership should be able to tell you if other Audis are having this problem and what is causing it. God bless your efforts.

HERE IN EUROPE THE PROBLEM IS THE CONTROLER OF THE PUMP.THE CONTROLER IS LOCATED UNDER THE BACK SEAT .JUST LIFT THE SEAT UP AND PUSH A LITTLE TO THE BACK.SECURE THE SEAT WITH A PIECE OF WOOD.UNDER THE SEAT U WILL FIND A BLACK COVER.ON THE SLOT OF THE COVER U MUST SEE THE CONTROLER.IT IS A BLACK BOX.UNPLUG AND CHECK IF THE PUMP GOES OF.IF IT GOES OF THEN U MUST REPLACE THE CONTROLER!!!!IF U NEED MORE INFO LET ME KNOW....

I had a problem with one of these and it turned out to be swirl flap motor and the actual swirl flaps themselves. If you remove the bonnet and if you look to the rear left of the engine next to the inlet manifold there is a lever that is the for the swirl flaps. When I removed the swirl flap housing ( this was a pain) one of the swirl flaps was bent.

dyno that audi or visually inspect the ECU outer casing to tell if genuine factory fitted or after market

Neither one of those codes has anything to do with what you replaced. 444 is probably the purge solenoid, Check wires. 018 is a correlation code. Most likely time to replace the timing components.

your car (if it is turbo) already has a boost control valve. It is the N75 valve.

No way to tell what you did wrong.

Sorry you will need to buy the manual for the car. VW doesn't allow free access to service related products.
