Hi all,

just a fyi for everyone. I had the gas tank recall done months ago. Well, last week I filled up my tank and parked the car for the evening. The next morning I had a 3 x 10 inch gasoline puddle on my garage floor the next morning (subsequently parked it outside the next few nights as I didn't want to take any chances with a pilot light igniting the fumes [over reaction, but better to be safe then sleeping on a bomb]). Also, a good reason to drag out the garage queen and drive her to work for a few days.

Anyway, I called and got an appointment at the local Audi dealership (Barrier). They are now installing a new tank in my car...at Audi's expense (100% covered). They said the recalled fix either wasn't installed correctly, over tighten, or that the crack had started before the recalled item was fitted and it just didn't prevent the crack from progressing/starting.

Keep an eye and nose out in your garage for the tell tail signs!

Best,
Aaron
