[s-cars] Fuel Line Recall

[Mtgadbois at aol.com]

To all so affected:
 
FWIW the original problem is that the connector by the fuel filter is  
improperly swaged onto the fuel line.  The connector will spin and thus  leak fuel.  
On my car the connector on the driver's side also loosened up  and was 
leaking fuel, especially in the winter.  The previous owner had the  fuel filter 
connector cut out and replaced with high pressure fuel hose  (Colorado car if I 
recall!).  I tried to get Audi to replace the driver's  side connector/fuel 
line but Audi just ignored me.  I later cut out that  connector and replaced it 
with similar high pressure hose.  No problem  in the last two years.  BTW I 
keep a screwdriver in the car in case the  hose connectors loosen. It happened 
once and now I check them annually.  I  also received a KY recall notice from 
Audi.  I think I just send them this  email.
