Have you done any mods recently?

I'm guessing here but it looks like the ECU finds the air/fuel mixture too lean and it has adjusted it to its max limit and it is still too lean.

It could be a vaccum leak or problems in the fuel delivery and you should take care of it soon.

You could try the vag-com forum over at Audi World for a more accurate answer.
