Dave, the jets are easy to clear, its the passageways in the carbs that cause most of the problems :!:

The correct float height for the 26mm carbs on the A4 is 22mm +/- 1mm, turn them upside down and measure from the gaket mating surface to top of float, make sure sure both sides of the float are the same height as well.

Well completly stripped the carbs today and ultrasonic cleaned the carb bodys and jets rebuilt checked float heights, some needed tweeking.

Have just fitted and fired up first time and runs sweet have just balanced the carbs and ticks over nice.

So £90 on a cleaner well worth it.
