Default still unable to refuel my car...

I looked for the bleeder valve and investigated how it is suposed to work... but nothing seemedto be wrong... there is a wire that attaches to the metal part of the gas tank neck... what does this do? I REAALY dont want to take it to audi to have it looked at...so hopefully someone in here will have a suggestion...

Default meaning that the pump keeps turning off? I've had this problem a few times.....

try NOT sticking the nozzle in all the way, back it out an inch.

(damn, if I had a nickel for every time I heard that one) =P

Does this happen at ALL gas stations? When this happened to me, it was at one gas station in particular. The sensitivity of the pumps varies.

Default This happens to me now and then too.

I just stick my finger or something between the filler and the pump seal.
