A6 Allroad 2013 suspension on the floor

The rear of what? Please explain. -
Even if it was burning oil, which I doubt, you would not necessarily see a drop in level. A little oil goes a long way when it comes to making a stink. Furthermore oil fumes should not enter the cabin unless the crankcase pressure relief valve is blocked or the oil filler cap is missing. I believe you will regret accepting the car, but it's your money and your choice.

Air con should not stink. Are you certain it is burnt oil you smell, or could it be mildew?
-
Not that I know of. You would have to look for yourself or get it checked at a garage
-
Please let us know the outcome.

I can't help on that score with any certainty. It might be a separate heat exchanger mounted behind the main radiator, or it might be integrated into the radiator. Let's hope somebody more knowledgeable will chip in.

Nevertheless the tailgate should close in alignment with the opening even before the bump stops make contact, so I ask again if the hinges can be adjusted for a better fit? If they can not then I would be concerned that either the body or the tailgate has been damaged in a crash.

Daren. You seem to have covered the obvious causes of low oil pressure. I think it is significant that the low pressure only happens after hard acceleration when the oil would get hotter than normal, so I wonder if there is a restriction in the oil cooler, assuming you have one.

2009 Audi A4 Suspension Issue – Bought from Dealer

Are you saying the testing station is part of the same business that sold you the car? -
Has the tailgate always been twisted, or is it a recent change in alignment? Perhaps it is the hinges that need adjustment.

Do you have an update for us Mark? -
So much for the pre-delivery inspection then.

It's easy enough to measure wear with a cheap tread depth guage. If it shows more wear at both shoulders than at the centre line the pressure is too low, and vice versa. If the inner shoulder is worn more than the outer, the toe in is too small, and vice versa. The tracking needs to be adjusted. I suggest you get the tyres and the tracking checked.
-
Ah, Torx had not occurred to me. I don't know its location though the low profile suggests somewhere with very little clearance above it.
-
Is it really a threaded screw rather than a ribbed press stud? I ask because I see no slot or shape to the head by which to drive it.
