This is from the 20V codes, so may not apply to the V8, but,
from Scott Mockrey's site:

2111 (Blink Fault Code), 00513 VAG1551/2 Fault Code Number
RPM sensor (G28)
Open or short circuit, sensor malfunction
Defective sensor & cables, metal fragments on flywheel teeth
Symptom: Engine will not start, misfires, may stop running
NOTE: I have seen this fault code occur after cranking the engine during
a no start condition in a few rare cases where there was nothing wrong
with the RPM sensor

If I read this correctly, *maybe* a bad RPM sensor cold cause a misfire,
but I don't know if the CEL will light up because of it.
