Has anyone just put the front springs on to even the fender gap better b/w front and rear?
Or, is this dumb due to different spring rates b/w the 2 suspensions.

Same for me- the front right and rear left were depressurized. They cannot find the leak so they re-pressurized the system and will drive it and look for the leak. My vehicle has only been driven 4000 miles since the recall, but it has been over 12 months. I am hopefull that Audi will do the repair on a goodwill basis. I believe a car with a total of 14000 miles on the odometer that has only careful use and no winters should last more than 4000 miles after the recall without failing.

Yes, there was a leak, but the source of the leak has not yet been discovered.
