New update: on our drive home from my son's baseball practice last night the sound changed from a noise like an old diesel engine to that of a grinding sound. Not good. I guess that the AC compressor is totally shot an now it will have metal fragments in the system.

Oh boy.

The clutch on the compressor was bad and the pulley just fell off when the belt was removed.

I must be a sucker for this car. I just paid to have a new AC Compressor, tensioner, dryer, belt and water pump.
Oh well.

Find a good private mechanic who really knows Audis. Your TCO will drop by 50% or more.
