Fuel Leak - Recall
Fyi: Two days ago fuel began to leak from the area just behind the passenger's side front wheel well. I have a 2012 A6 Prestige with 83.5K on it. I was able to drive it to local Audi dealer 1/2 a tank of gas leaked out in only a few hours. My service advisor mentioned the recent recall and sent me away with a loaner. They'll have the car for several days because apparently the required parts are not yet in ample supply and they are only being provided for emergency cases like mine.

They gave me a 2017 A4 - not as nice as the 2012 A6

Does anyone know where this HP fuel pump is located & which fuel line the recall is referring to? I would like to visually inspect it, prior to the replacement parts becoming available.

Generally on other cars, the in-tank pump has a sock over the inlet and a external fuel filter near the tank. I don't know how Audi does it but you ask them to change the filter while they have it apart.
