That was exactly my experience a couple of years ago. It resulted in me getting the Audi placed on a lowloader and taken back home. A new starter motor was fitted to no avail, and I'd replaced the battery with a Bosch Silver jobby. It turned out to be a similar fault to your problem and was discovered by the garage after a bit of troubleshooting. The connections inside the box were all gunked up, so they were cleaned up and put back. Everything worked perfectly. The garage let me have the new starter motor for free as it was too much trouble to take it all out again - result!
