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!*AK

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. *AK

An investigation is not a finding of a defect, and closure does not prove a vehicle is problem-free.
