    Hello,

    I have a '57 A6 Avant Quattro 3.0 TDI and have to use my car for work. I find myself driving on quite a few farm tracks and sometimes ground out on the bottom. Does anyone know if it's possible to retrofit the air suspension from the Allroad to a non-allroad avant quattro? To my mind, the parts should be swapable as I imaging Audi would design to allow maximum flexibility between variants within the same model to cut production costs. I'm aware it may be a lot of man-hours, but at the moment I'd just like to know if it is possible in the first place

    The reason I am considering this (aside from the above) is that I've had the car a while and it's tatty (it's got scratches and dents, the carpet is torn etc.) but the engine mechanics of it are like new (it's been fixed and well maintained). As such, the car isn't worth much and I know it's got many more miles left in it. Also, the cheapest Q7 or Q5 to replace it with is about 4 times as much as mine is worth, which I can't afford. I could trade it in for something more off-road capable at a similar price, but I'll likely have to fix all the things that go wrong with cars of this age, which I've already fixed on the current one. The air suspension parts seem to be readily available new (aftermarket) on eBay, so the cost would seem worth it rather than getting a replacement car.

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated and thanks in advance! Sam
