Both should be ok but the first doesnt meet VW507 which is the longlife standard but does state that it meets extended service interval up to 40k k.
Mannol are not listed on a Audi Tech Service Bulletin regarding oils of 2011 (there may well be a later bulletin) which lists products which meet their various standards but it seems that Mannol products are manufactured by SCT Lubricants in Lithuania to meet Mannol (and International) standards.

I have generally used Quantum Longlife or Platinum (the latter on the basis that I do my own oil changes every year - which is about 8k miles for me). However, Halfords were doing a deal on oils a few weeks back and their fully synthetic oil (which meet 502.00 and 505.00) was about £12 IIRC for 4 ltrs and so i got 8 ltrs for my next annual change.
As long as what you use meets the standards and you change it accordingly then it should be OK.

Phoned TPS a few weeks ago for the price of 20L Quantum LongLife and was told it was £78.00 or there abouts...Went in the next week for my 20L and the price jumped up to £96.00
 so queried it and was told it was on promotion the week before... Needed it so I had to stump up. On the other hand the oil filter was excellent value at half the price of my Mercedes oil filter, half the price of the Subaru oil filter, quarter the price of the Range Rover filter and half the price of a Mini filter... No I don't get it either

It is probably OK, but I have never heard of it. It is not commonly available here. Don't you need 507.00 spec? I think Opie Oils deliver to NI at standard rate...and free over £50 so if you buy http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60131-gu...-mercedes.aspx Use checkout code TSMSPORT for 10% off.
