Yes, I admit it, I read my owners manual cover-to-cover the first week
I had the car, even sitting in the car with it to check out Cool
Stuff.....

I am an Audi Geek and proud of it!

My only suggestion is doing what I said previously: putting the car in a
warm garage and waiting for it to thaw. And then, of course, spraying all
the fluid out when it thaws and replacing it with something more
winter-friendly.
By the way, I apologize for being unclear when I said that the default
Audi fluid has a freezing temperature of about "~20 degrees f". The "~" was
clearly mistaken for a "-". But what I really meant was "roughly".....as in
"roughly +20 degrees f". So it makes perfect sense that your fluid is frozen
at -5 degrees f.
