Really? I'm sure somebody told me that audis only fiddle about for a minute
or so after everything has stopped and the car locked etc, mind you I guess
there could be some issue if you have the battery in view and are still
close enough for it to know you are there if its one of them there
intelligent cars.

This morning after the engine fan had stopped I measured the standing
current across the open knife switch and was surprised to see the meter
was reading 3.26 amps. No wonder the battery flat!

How long did you leave it measuring for? When you connect the ammeter
you are effectively re making the circuit and it will then go though
any
diagnostics etc until it goes into sleep mode.

The meter was connected across the knife switch before the circuit was
opened, so it shouldn't have seen any break in supply.

You need to leave it for say 20 minutes or so, and check again.
