1. Anyone else experience strong exhaust fumes inside the car with heat on?
2. Have clunking and popping in front suspension at low speeds, turning, speed bumps?

The suspension I found is a common issue but nobody seems to have found a solution.

I have a strong exhuast fume inside the car. Took it to Audi to get checked, they had it for a week and said they had another TDI in shop, said it also does the same thing. They called it not abnormal, and I need to have recirculate on when I turn on the car. I smell exhuast when I turn on the car, at a stop light and definitely when the car is regenerating.

I've had popping before, it was a loose nut on the suspension, Audi fixed it for me.

I recently got P0272 code, interruption in power. Might have to change or clean out the fuel injector.

Ever since the "fix" I have the same exhaust smell but only when during cold weather and on start up / warm up. Once warmed up it goes away. And is non existent during summer months.
