    Good morning CT.
    Happy hump day.
    Worked on a 2011 LX570, leak in the hydraulic suspension, replaced a line and had to remove a bolt from on top of the frame.
    That one bolt took an hour with the no access, rust and and you could only get 1/16 of a turn at a time.

    Good morning

    On the subject of access, to change my car's air filter you have to remove the taillights and then remove the rear bumper skin.:facepalm:

    That was my A6 Avant. Was around 140K so was due for another timing belt, p/s lines were leaking, something else I don't remember and would have been coming up for second go round on the control arms. Great car but maintainence "intensive"

    My a4 was leaking oil in 3 separate locations (timing cover, oil filter housing, and.....somewhere else), sold it to someone full disclosure and they gave me what I wanted for it, had the taco that same week

    I'll guess valve cover gaskets. Audi motors were always wet. And don't get me started on the ABS controller block...
