Have your MAF (mass airflow meter) checked and replace if the culprit.

The MAF is a secure bet. Gives exactly the described result. The
exchange job is about ten minutes (the MAF is at the left rear side of
the engine bay, if standing in front of the car and looking into the
engine bay). The dealer tells me that the MAF's for this Modelyear are
at the moment at 100 Euro. Go to Audi and ask for a nice rebate. I had
mine replaced recently and paid 30% of the parts price and nothing for
labor.
Oh, and ask if the postheating technical modification has been done
There's a technical bulletin out by Audi telling the dealars to switch
off MAF post operation heating (running for one minute after 'ignition
off'). This is done by physically cutting a cable and then routing a new
cable from the electronic box in the engine bay to the MAF. My Audi
garage charged me 15 Euros for the mod.
