Hi, Matt
If your car is less than 5 years old then the battery replacement should be down to Audi as I believe that batteries are covered under warranty for five years, I had to get mine replaced and it was 4 years old at the time. you might need to push the point with your local Audi dealer but they should agree and replace f.o.c.

Unfortunately mine is 8 years old so not sure they will replace it so been looking around think the best will be a varta silver is the better one for around £105 then I will fit it

Matt,
Give it a go, you never know with Audi what the answer is going to be. you might save yourself alot of time and money.
