Aims. The discovery of large amounts of molecular gas in the hosts of luminous AGN in the local Universe offers a unique opportunity to study its physical conditions under the influence of starbursts and powerful AGN in great detail with present and future mm/sub-mm telescopes. Towards achieving this goal we present first results of multi-J CO line observations of such objects.
