2000 A8 wont 'talk' with the VAG COM
have 80K on a ZF rebuilt trans and have almost daily 'limp mode' event but cant find out what the problem is because the VAG COM cant read any codes in the car. Anyone have knowledge or experience with a non communication problem and the possible source of same ?

Has it ever been able to connect and communicate? If not make sure you have the correct drivers installed on your pc to be able to use the usb device, otherwise you could try going to control panel>device manager>select the device and change the property of the communication speed to a lower number(i think it is 10 by default)

Plus if vagcom, wired correctly, won't read it, then neither will a code reader.

My 2000 had a similar issue, I was able to get communication by disconnecting the ABS module.
Its possible you have a module that is misbehaving badly and that is causing the problem. Try disconnecting the ABS first.
