What owners say
Gas leak under left passenger side of the vehicle.
the vehicle was leaking gas. the vehicle rarely would start. fuses easily burn out or go bad due to possible electrical problems. now I am having to purchase maybe it is called a drive shaft? or something that makes the vehicle not go or start?? I am not a mechanic but I pay a lot of money on this vehicle every month, the repairs are extremely high and not wating to ruin my credit due to neglect part of Audi company. I will also get pictures as soon as the mechanic can get the parts and start working on the next problem.
About a month ago I smelled and noticed a fuel leak had a mechanic check it out he said it was leaking by the fuel pump flange and it was a recall and it looks like it wasn’t fix at all or wasn’t fixed properly I contacted Audi and they said it was fixed but they have no records of it being fixed!!
There is a current recall on the vehicles for the flange around the fuel pump leaking. The repair does not fix the problem and it will reoccur. Audi will only fix the car once. Next repair is on the owner and costs $1,000 to repair. Audi repair facility admits it is the very problem affected in the recall and that my vehicle is leaking so much fuel it is in imminent danger of catching fire. They will not even let it leave the facility unless it is towed only because of the severity of the leak. Vehicle was taken back to audi on several occasions after the first recall repair was done saying their was a fuel smell only to have the car returned saying it was normal. Once the warranty expired now they say it has a fuel leak and refuse to pay for repairs.
