Hi Alex,
They are right, the prop is a one piece part as far as Audi are concerned. You will have to get the whole prop. Having said that, the prop is NOT that bad really!!
Audi sell the prop exchange,, so you give them your old one in exchange and the price is cheaper. The dealers charge £270+vat for an exchange prop, which isn't reeally that much!
Also, there are specialist propshaft repairers, I know there is one near me, they can recon props. Look on the net for prop repairers and get a quote.
That joint on your shaft would need a lot of lateral movement to make that kinda noise.

Dropped you a PM Mike, the answer is that the 6 speed prop is 5cm shorter than the 5 speeder.
