The Audi A6 3.2 FSI Quattro aut. with a Swift Conqueror 645 with an actual weight of 1844 kg is a match just suitable for most journeys but also with some limitations.
The motor preformance of the Audi is in general very good. But the weight of the Swift with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is heavy. Try to move luggage from the caravan to the car and drive not too fast. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly!

Audi A6 3.2 FSI Quattro aut. Swift Conqueror 645
Actual Weights
Swift Conqueror 645: 1844 kg.
Audi A6 3.2 FSI Quattro aut.: 1980 kg.
Noseweight: 100 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 93%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 270 points).
Speeds of 82 mph (132 km/h) to 86 mph (139 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 261 points).
Higher revs (2000 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 14.1 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 321 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 22%.
On motorway inclines higher revs (3100 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 73 mph (118 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Audi is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
The caravan is too heavily loaded.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 93%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 104%.
The risk of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving exist. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are so great that it could be dangerous. Only if the driver has knowledge of and experience in driving a caravan it should be safe to drive. Proper and careful loading is essential! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is recommended.
Recommended noseweight is 90 - 100 kg.
Towball limit is 85 kg (Check this on the type plate of your towbar!)
Safe speed up to 56 mph (90 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 97 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
Performance is very good.
Proper and careful loading is still important!
It's a fairly good match, only for experienced (caravan) drivers and with some limitations.
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
