A6 8-cyl

  • 150,000 miles
I have 2003 Audi A6 quattro 4.2 L. I had in shop for rear brakes and mechanic noted fuel leaking/dripping from front drivers side of plastic fuel tank. I did internet search and found recall campaign 11V267000 and many complaints regarding similar leaks. I verified manufacture date 4/3/(2002 or 2003?) from vehicle which falls in window covered by recall of units manufactured between June 19, 2001 through June 8, 2004. I contacted Audi America and eventually spoke with xxxx at [xxx]. she assured me that my car was either not subject to the recall or had been fixed. I told her I was the owner of the car at the time of the recall ( May 2011) and my car had not been fixed. She robotically repeated that my car had either been fixed or not part of the recall. I asked her to verify that it had been fixed and she said they have no records to show that. She said I could contact the dealer that originally sold the car. I said why would a dealer in Wisconsin who sold the car in 2003 have any records regarding a recall issued in 20011 when I owned the car? she was silent. I asked for a list of all vins in the recall. She said she could not give me that. She agreed to send me a "range" of affected VIN's. she said they might be able to help me out but I need to have and evaluation done at my expense at an Audi dealer to determine what is wrong. I said I know what is wring, it is leaking gas from the rollover valve connection on the tank and reported all over the internet in Audi forums etc. I have made an appointment with Audi for 31 October min 1 hr labor at $110/hr to evaluate my leak. This recall needs to be enforced and Audi needs to be held accountable for their evasive responses. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
