Everyone tries to change the valve cover gaskets but they never go after the tensioer seal (which has an update btw) and that's normally where the oil smell comes from.

The air suspension is slow I suppose. It takes about 90 seconds to go from lvl one to lvl 2 and about 30 seconds to go down a level.

I also think you will need someone with the correct computer. You need to be able to do things like measure the sensor data from the air shocks and things like air compressor temperature. A lot of VAG-COM's can do it but not everyone has the correct software. The euro specialty shop I deal with on our lot has everything they need so I'm sure someone near you does.

The mileage and the leaks and timing belt would give me caution unless I had the answers to all of those questions via a PPI. The t-belt can be done in an afternoon by using the slide service method on the lock carrier. But that rear tensioners required removing the cams for me and that took some time. Oh and I had to fabricate a cam lock bar which added some time to the job the first time.
