Tl*the contact owns a 1993 audi quattro. While driving 25 mph the front of the vehicle hit the raised portion of a grating in the road, and upon impact the air bags deployed and exploded. The contact was injured. The dashboard, transmission pan, catalytic converter, fog lights and front shocks were destroyed. A police report was filed. The contact stated that the vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.
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
