Hi the bit you are looking for is in/on side of air cleaner box/filter housing, you have to pull it out to get to the wiring plug that connects it, check the wiring and plug before condemning the unit.

Hi no disrespect intended but the older the car gets the more chance its a dodgy connector/wiring as unfortunately due to this country's love of road salt the plastics get coated and degrade quickly, Audis are not that bad for this in real terms all my Fords and most French cars are even worse at about three years because they they are so environmentally conscious they use low chlorine plastics [cheaper], I would get another grommet, give them both a coating in silicone grease, job done.
