I checked with the mechanic and he said that it's an air pressure pump and it's in that place only in V6 engines. I didn't pay attention that you already had that engine, so I don't know why you don't have it. Hope that any audi gurus here can give you an explanation, sorry for not providing much help.

That unit is the brake booster vacuum pump. It is not fitted to vehicles with a manual gearbox .
