You can use somebody else's; it does not have to be yours.

You almost certainly will want to retain a lawyer / soliciter and have
them send the letters and do all the communication through.
It will cost you, but you have a much higher chance of success.
For their legal department to simply *respond* to your lawyer will cost
upwards of UKP2500 I imagine, in time and resources.
Going to court will almost certainly be more than you're asking them to
pay. Doing this the Right Way is the best course of action.

I have been in a similar situation as yourself, not with Audi though.
I had only had my 307, at that time, for 6 months when I tried to reject the
car.
I took legal advice and as I'd had all the faults eventually fixed under the
warranty I couldn't reject the car as it was in working order.
If I'd not got the faults fixed then I could have rejected the car as it
wouldn't have been fit for the purpose.
The most I got from Peugeot was a free service which I didn't ever use as I
part exchanged the car for an Audi A4 and haven't looked back since.
I'm sure you should get on better with Audi as they have a decent reputation
to protect.
Hope you get a satisfactory result.
Chris.
