[s-cars] Replacing Fuel Pump

[Calvin Young]

Thanks Guys,

I went to Audi world last night and found threads that laid out the
replacement of the pump in detail.  My immediate problem is the three fuel
lines that connect to the pump, but apparently there is an access hole
behind the back seat.  These three lines have gotten damaged and the main
line is spewing gasoline such that the car cannot be driven.  Hope to get at
this today.  

I got a fresh appreciation for how well built these cars are.  Happens every
time I go under the vehicle.  Amazing.

Cal

Jerry's right.  You get at the fuel pump from inside the trunk. In a VERY
well ventilated area.
