have i been doing the wrong thing?
Only what I have always done. Rule is dont mix the colours, thats when u get the sludge. If you have the blue put the blue in unless its completely flushed out, then you can choose what you put in.

I do a full flush and put in the pink G12+, latterly G13 straight from TPS in both my KV 90s and now the AFN A4. It says on it its backwards compatible with internal components and its what Audi supply when you ask for antifreeze. Never had a problem. Hopefully Ive been right...?!
