Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The dealer has not received authorization to comply with campaign # 00v068000. The parts have been on back order for at least 3 weeks. Campaign # ky is not in the dealers computer system. I have been trying to have this fuel line repaired since 3/2000. This line is fuel line is under high pressure and could could spray on a hot turbo causing an engine compartment fire. I have not recieved any cooperation from vw of america in getting this line replaced. Voa customer service reps deny knowlege of this recall.
Consumer is having same problem as stated in recall 00v068000 concerning fuel lines, and vehicle was not included in recall.
On this date, 09-07-00, at approximately 0730 hours, temp in mid 40's, my wife started our vehicle and detected the odor of gasoline and shut off the motor. A check under the hood indicated a leaking metal braided fuel line located on the front passenger side of the engine compartment near the exhaust manifold/turbo-charger. We contacted audi of america at their 1-800 number and inquired as to what course of action we should take. The male representative we spoke to was not aware of any recall on this defective part, however, he did provide us with a reference # and advised us to contact a local audi dealer. We contacted star motor co., a volkswagen/audi dealership, located in clarksburg, wv. The service manager advised that plans were being made for recall but, owner notifications had not been sent. We scheduled an appointment for this same date and contacted a local towing service to tow our vehicle to star motor co., which is located approximately 65 miles from our residence. At this time, it is undetermined if audi is going to cover the cost of the repair & tow. The federal safety agency campaign id # 00v068000 thank you.

This fuel leak is next to the exhaust manifold and is a fire hazard!
Pe99065, fuel line cracked, causing fuel to leak onto the engine compartment which may cause a fire. Please provide further information.
I had previously noted an intermittent fuel smell on several occasions, but cursory underhood inspection revealed no visible leaks. Most recent occurence (2/25/00) had same fuel smell and this time I was able to detect weepage in the flexible line (got a wet hand from rubbing flexible line). Fittings on the fuel filter were tight. Fuel staining on components below the fuel line was also noted. Vehicle driven a short distance to dealer (mohegan lake motors, yorktown, ny, (914) 528-8076), for resolution on 2/28/2000. Presently awaiting their report and repair.
