??? WTF are you talking about? There is no "idle control switch" on these cars. There are Idle Speed Control solenoids on FDs, FCs have a bypass air control solenoid which is similar. S4 FCs also have a mixture adjust pot which can allow the car to run slightly richer or leaner but its in the engine bay.

A car running an aftermarket EMS can have a trim switch which allows the fuel to be trimmed rich or lean similar to the stock pot on the S4's. Other than that there is no such thing as an Idle Control Switch to my knowledge. I could be wrong but I've completely stripped both an NA and a Turbo and have spent a long time here and never heard of such a thing.
