What 1993 Audi Quattro owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Failure is of a factory assembly of flexible and rigid fuel line. A crimped hose connection (the hose is of stainless steel braid sheathing over rubber, with a crimped sleeve at one end, and a threaded fitting on the other) has been leaking for some time but was not tracked down as the source of fuel vapor fumes until this am. I will not be taking it to the dealer for diagnosis and eventual repair - the procedure is more cumbersome than paying the $86 and replacing it myself. Coincidentally, the dealer parts dept. Told me he had to order 2 other fuel lines for customers this same week - he didn't know why. As manufactured, this has the appearance (and cost) of a "lifetime" part. The leak eventually ends up on the exhaust manifold. For reference, the audi report reference # is 524906, filed 7/20 @ 9:00 am. Ps: your hotline wouldn't let me get beyond the message loop!
When driving the vehicle smelled a strong gas odor. Once the vehicle stopped, the gas would leak out of the top of the gas tank.
