Shouldn't be an issue in a modern car, the fuel systems are very well
sealed..and even old gas will start the car, most likely.

I would go over the engine looking for loose vacuum lines and the
like.  A missing fuel pressure regulator control line will dump a ton
of fuel into the car.

I would also check to see if all the values for the various sensors,
as reported by VAG-COM, make sense..though I would expect such a new
engine to throw a fault code if any were left unplugged, etc.

For older cars, you had to crank them a certain length of time to
guarantee a fault code.  Is this the case with the newer cars?  If you
have the Bentley, go through the no-start flowchart.
