Audi S6 Fuel System problems by year

The contact owns a 2003 Audi S6. The contact stated that while refueling the vehicle in the driveway, gasoline was leaking from the vehicle. The vehicle was then repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 11V267000 (Fuel System, Other); however, the failure persisted. The dealer was contacted, and the vehicle was diagnosed with fuel tank failure. The contact was informed that the part was discontinued. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 176,000.

Pursuant to outstanding recall repair: Fuel tank leaks substantially when filled over 1/2 tank. Zimbrick Audi of Madison, WI confirms symptom, and confirms that fuel tank needs to be replaced pursuant to faulty rollover valve nipple. Audi of America is not currently offering a resolution as they claim replacement fuel tank is no longer available. The car has been unavailable to me for over a week. There is no resolution in sight.

The metal fuel lines under car corrode due to design of retaining clamps. This has caused leaks in the fuel line. The car has had a fuel line recall performed already but, it was at a different section. This rusted section is not covered.

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. *Ak

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...

Fuel line which goes into the engine compartment is leaking fuel , and causing a fire hazard. Also, recall 00v068000 dealt with same problem. However, this vehicle was not included due to vin. *Ak

Smell gas while driving, consumer feels hes experiencing the same problem as recall 00v068000.*Ak

NO SUMMARY

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. *Ak

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. *Ak

Car is under factory warranty. Contacted audi of america and local dealership. Was unable to schedule appointment until 12-13-99. I feel that this defect in the fuel line is very dangerous and am now faced with renting a car for the next 4 weeks unless I choose to drive the car knowing that theleak is dripping gas onto a hot turbo charger.

The fuel line leak that my car suffers from is a common problem on 1992-1994 audi s4s and 1995 audi s6s. The location of the fuel line leak is particularly dangerous since it tends to drip or spray on the turbo which could cause an engine fire. From doing some research on the web (www.S-cars.Org) it is clear that numerous other owners have experienced the same problem that I have and have had to battle audi to repair the problem at audi's expense. The general consensus is that this is a defect that could have...
