This is a big job as they will want to replace your timing belt, tensioners, the pump itself and the seal. TOTAL 3,000.00.
You need to do it because you will have no heat in the car shortly and right now take a look at your oil temperature. It will get worse.

PS
What coolant have you used?
If it was not AUDI approved FLUSH the whole system immediately, PLEASE!
The final fix cost the member $419.89. Far cry from $3,000 !!
