Without a full scan with VCDS or similar tool, this is a waste of time and (more of) your money to pursue many guesses to what the issue may be. Please get a scan and report back.

Thanks for the update, taking my car to an independent because the Audi dealer here in Greensboro, NC didn't find any issues just did an ECM update and I'm having same exact issue as you.

Borat? From Kazakhstan? I sense we have a comedian in our midst. Go troll somewhere else Borat.. Off Topic is a good place for you..

Thanks for the post.

I have a 2012 A8L and I too am having this problem.

The video you posted was spot on. This is exactly what my A8 is doing.

And like you, when I reported this problem to the dealership, the mechanic had no clue what to do for it other than to report that it was running rich.

My big mistake, I haven't purchased a VAG COM yet.

I'll take this info to the stealership and have them replace the same component.

I’ve replaced fuel pumps with sensors, oil separotor, sparks, coils, car software. Has the problem only on idle. The only thnig left is the injectors but i wont change then before i am sure. Any suggestions?

Check this post. https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-...2903421/page7/
I had a similar issue, it wasn't resolved until the dealer replaced both high pressure pumps. They replaced many other parts up to that point. I haven't had an issue since. Considering the possible language confusion, sounds like the same issue.
Funny thread though.

You can’t even imagine what ended to be my problem! Air leak of course but from where? It turns out that one of my turbos was in very bad condition. Enormous shaft play. But still running no smoke etc. The shaft and bearing tolerances were so big that the air leak was from the turbo bearing through the return oil to the sump and messing up with the sump ventilation system running rich mixtures ruining with the idle... how about that??
I am only grateful that I did not send the car to the dealer but done it my garage. I am pretty sure they would replace everything that you can think off and finally the engine itself probably
