Having worked on lots and lots of Audis I am sorry for you. They're fun till they start falling apart and leaking a bunch. Enjoy it!
My shop owner friend says that Audi is German for "requires special tools".
When I was at his place not long ago, he was doing a t-belt on an Audi 1.8T. The VW version - same vintage, could be done with normal tools. The Audi one had a different tensioner that (you guessed it) required a special tool.
You guys freaked me out about maint on these things - so I researched it quite a bit. 99% or the problems seem to stem from poor service history and the use of improper oil. Otherwise they are much like e30s - change the oil and timing belt when you should and you'll be golden.
