Question

answers would be brill

Answer 1

As stated abouve if you are haveing issue with both the power stearing and altinator its proabably a bad tesioner on the serpintine belt. the tesioners are a somewhat common problem in Audis ive always had mine replaced every 60K miles or so  

Answer 2

Loose/worn out serpentine belt or faulty belt tensioner would affect both.

Answer 3

Is your power steering hydraulic or electric? If hydraulic, then no, of course not. If electric, yes, if your battery is not charging correctly.

Answer 4

Not necessarily.

It could be the wiring loom going to the power steering is damaged.

Can your battery hold a charge? - A dodgy alternator usually causes the battery to go flat.

Answer 5
