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. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 00V068000 THANK YOU.
