Just thought I'd post to let everybody know that I did this job today in about 20 minutes and it was a piece of cake.
The main problem is the retaining hex bolt which holds the battery in place, it's a ****** to get to, but with careful use of an alan key I unscrewed it and released the battery.
Just a case of removing the trim above the battery and then deattaching negative first and positive second.
Then reassemble in reverse order.
It's a bit of a bitch getting the battery out on your own because of it's weight and position, so a second person is useful here.
Strangely I didn't have to input any radio code when I attached the new battery. The ABS light was illuminated for the first few miles and that has now gone out and everything is fine.
Better than paying Audi £183 for the job anyway.
