Default Such indignity!

For the second time in one year, I'm watching my TT be flat bedded away...

Default My TT went in today because..

the newly replaced tank sensors was leaking gas - a slow ooze. The dealer took the car apart this afternoon and replaced the gasket and filled up the tank. I picked it up about 6pm. They said they filled the tank and when I smelled gas I figured it was from the work.

Got it home (well near) and it was about 1/8 down or so. I figured they didn't really fill it up so I did. Bad move; it dumped 3 gallons of gas or so - back to the pre-fillup mark. Car stinks inside of gas.

Called the dealer (salesman there, service long gone) - Audi Assured came (finally) and took it back to the dealership. It's undriveable; it would kill you to try to breathe in there..

The salesman says he will push hard on service to see if they can really fix it - finally? and if so, I'll be pulling into Somerset late tomorrow (I miss the whole train of TT's, damn)

Fun stuff, heh? What (crappy) timing - how do I do that? I could write a book!

Default Tell me about it ;(

Anyone know a good lawyer? What if my car had turned into a big old fireball?? Not to mention the toxic poison - the tow truck driver nearly bounced out of the car when he smelled it!

I couldn't make this story up if I tried!

Default Here is the answer and what to tell the dealer in the morning . . .

Jason says:

There are two fuel sending units and it sounds like the dealer didn't put the fuel sending unit seals in properly.
