Default Gas smeel in the car ?

Some time i can smell raw gas in the cabin of the car, It doesn't happend to often, I took to the dealer left it there for few days and they found nothing wrong, It happened only some time when i first start my car and the smell usually comes from the air vents,It lasts for maybe about 10-15 min and then stops ?Any idea what is causing this ??

Default under the forums icon above, you can just select "search forums"....

i linked you to it below, some things you should know, use minimal words in your search, its very touchy, keep your search to 3 words or less. And narrow your search by selecting the proper forum.

You should also read "reader tips" under "audiworld resources".<ul><li><a href="http://search.audiworld.com/search.html">http://search.audiworld.com/search.html</a</li></ul>

Default No idea.

I've never heard of that. Try the search though as suggested.

Default When the dealer did a turbo swap on my allroad they didn't bother to torque down the fuel supply nut

properly. It was dripping fuel and passenger side head was wet. Vapors made it into the cabin through the vents. Had to torque down the nuts myself and will never trust that dealer again...
