If you can find a body shop and/or mechanic willing to relate in writing that all the problems you are currently having with the Audi is due to your car being backing into then you can try to get the at fault driver's insurance company to pay for fixing the related repairs. If you cannot get a body shop and/or mechanic to relate the problems in writing, you will have a very difficult time getting the at fault driver's insurance company to voluntarily pay for all the repairs you are currently having with the Audi.
If you have collision coverage, you can try to take up this matter with your own auto insurance company. Otherwise, you will need to litigate this matter in court if you cannot get the at fault driver's insurance company to pay for the related repairs. Good luck with this matter.
