So far so good, the relay is only $19 from Audi, took me 2 minutes to put in, it is right next to the ECU, in the ECU box under drivers side wiper. I will drive it around today and let you know.

It is relay #30, I got it from the dealer, they called it the ECU power relay, it was $19. They ordered it in for me, and I got it in two days. I feel confident that this is going to work, so I will have my wife drive it around more today.
