problem #4

Feb 252006

A6 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,800 miles
When filling the gas tank in my 99 Audi A6 quattro pressure builds inside the tank and sprays back at me. This has happened each time I put gas in it full or not. A recall was made but, not for my VIN. I spoke with a Audi rep. And a dealership and they said there's nothing that can be done unless I pay for it. I would but, there is already a recall made for that car just not that VIN. It's a hazard and I've had other problems that I paid for. Please let me know if anything can be done. Thank you for your time!

Due to a defective fuel sending unit, fuel gauge was indictating about 1/3 of fuel in tank. But apparently there wasn't any fuel, causing vehicle to stall. Sending unit has been on back order since July 1999.
