Consumer Description

THERE IS A RECENT RECALL FOR CERTAIN AUDI MODELS AS REFERENCED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE08008. THIS BEGINS WITH MODEL YEAR 2001 A6 AUDI CARS WITH THE 2.7 ENGINE. I OWN A 2000 MODEL A6 2.7 AND AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A GASOLINE SMELL THAT JUST BEGAN AND BY INSPECTION FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A SLIGHT LEAK (NOT DRIPPING) FROM THE TOP AREA OF THE TANK AS DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL. IT SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE THAT MY CAR IS ALSO HAVING A VERY RARE SLOW GAS LEAK BUT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE GAS TANK PART NUMBER (AS PRINTED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK) IS 4B0 201 085. THIS IS THE SAME PART NUMBER AS USED IN THE 2001 AND 2002 MODELS AS REFERENCED FROM A N ONLINE PART SEARCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND FURTHER RESEARCH. *TR
