According to my audi literature (An internal newspaper dating from 1984, 
announcing the new 4000Q) it is referred to as an "Auxially package 
compartment" FWIW... A friend who purchased one new, mentioned there was 
nothing in there when he bought it.

Keep in mind, He also said he got the "optional" 5 speed. Hmmm
