Rod knock + blown head gasket(s) = rebuild. Find a GOOD machinist in your area. A comprehensive stock rebuild will cost about $1600.00. Find out what your mechanic will charge you to pull and reinstall the engine.

BTW, lemon laws are for new cars- dealer gets 3 chances to (fail to) fix the same problem/defect before lemon litigation can be pursued. Not something you can do on a 16 year old car. These things are as-is, period unless someone is unwise enough to offer a warranty. Dealerships that come into possession of these cars and then sell them often offer a "it'll get you home" 1,000 mile warranty and that's it.
If it's a beautiful car, fix it and enjoy it. That's part of owning these cars. They demand a piece of you one way or another. But then you have a great car- you're not another random a$$hole with an Audi.

How about oil pressure? Good? Decent? Non existent?
The short block should be assessed to see if it is a bottom end problem or just head gaskets. When you say knock noise is it a metallic ping or like someone knocking on a wood door, maybe accompanied with a bit of squeaking?
