So I cleaned the OPR and replaced the line that goes to the banjo bolt. I'd say I've got noticeably better performance. After doing that, I replaced all my injectors and took the car in for a valve...

Clarifications

OK, lots to clarify. 1. I added my location, you should see it now. I gather since I've already put PAG 100 oil in the system, 134A is my only option. I'm okay with that I think. 2. It is an R4...

Smile Got it!

Thanks for your help. That does it. It doesn't fix the original problem, but all that means is that it wasn't the master door lock switch. I'll keep hunting I guess. Thanks again for your help.
