incorrect, you won't lose the power steering , the only thing driven by the belt is the alternator , the power steering and everything else is driven from accessory drives from the rear of the engine , washing it shouldn't do any harm to the belt , they can handle a lot of water ,and at worst may slip a fe seconds , it mat be broken , by co incidence ,so look down the front of the engine and see if its still there or is damaged with bits missing from the ribs , it may a wiring issue or an internal fault with the alternator may be the issue a short inside the stator will flatten a battery in no time at all and will cause a lot of heat and possible catch fire , tho it didn't happen to you , did yo smell any hot melted plastic smell ?, its also water cooled so not a quick change out and is buried in the bottom RH side of the engine , and is likely horrendously expensive just to swap out , so best get it diagnosed by audi or a competent auto electrician
