If had to guess, I'd say it's located in the rear cargo area, with all the rest of the electronics & fuse boxes back there...just to the inboard side of car from where all the adblue tanks are located in the RR fenderwell. Before you start a crusade to replace modules (a common Audi dealer activity), have you got a VCDS to try some electronic wizardry on it first? What symptoms are you trying to resolve? I've had the entire system replaced by Audi warranty, so I've got some familiarity with it.
The transfer pump that moves fluid from larger adblue storage tank into the smaller, 'working' adblue storage tank is a weak link, but we'd need some details on your issue to help you better.

Their are modules mounted beneath the right, front seat. I know on my '10, the ECU module is mounted under the front passenger seat, because I'm going to have to remove it to get it bench-flashed for a Malone TDI tune (USA, left-hand-drive car). I wouldn't be surprised if the adblue control module is co-located under there also.

i will check, there is at least one module there that shows from the back seat if the passenger set is all the way to the front.

I was crawling around under my Q7 TDI and it looks like there is a control module under the floor - I mean underneath the vehicle....just about where it shows in the diagram above. I can't imagine a module exposed to weather and road hazards....but it sure looked like one under there.
