I never buy aftermarket oil filters. Air filters, perhaps, but NEVER oil or fuel, they have to be genuine Audi.

OK, so Fram seem to be given the thumbs down. I note from Audiworld forum that Mann would appear to be the manufacturer of Audi oil filters but that thread was dated 2004. Is that still the case?
