There is no way I would pull the motor and buy new manifolds.
Drill them out and get some of these.
I've used them before on manifold flanges.
You can press in with a c-clamp and a socket over the threaded portion.

It may be exactly what Audi uses?

If you can get the studs out the flange on the manifold is threaded. I replaced mines once I took the exhaust off to change the clutch. I welded a nut on to the bit off snapped stud then used some heat and they screwed out. Defo wouldn't be taking the engine out
Thanks for the replies. I'm not quite so worried now.
