I did not know of these kits either, but from what I remember of having my car done by a professional one needs suitable pressure guages to ensure only the correct amount of gas is introduced. Furthermore I believe it is now compulsory to to collect and recycle old hydroflurocarbon refridgerant gas because of the damage done by it to the ozone layer of the atmosphere.

Monika. I believe your hopes are unrealistic. What you propose would be an an enormous job because not only would the engine have to be changed, but you would also need numerous sensors and their associated electronics, a complete wiring loom, and a complete exhaust system. Depending on what engine you select you may also need modified engine mountings, new front springs & dampers, new gearbox & drive shafts. Even if you find somebody willing to do it, the cost would be enormous.

What progress on this problem Gary?

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
cliffcoggin replied to Mark Valley's topic in Audi A4 (B9) Forum
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.
