S-Heads,
Today was a car maintenance day for my S6 since it was going to be warm
(started out at 9 but got up to 35 so I could wash the car off and get
my snow tires on for the season). At the end of the day I changed the
oil and was cleaning things under the hood. I discovered when I put
sideways pressure on the fuel return line, it spouted some fuel - same
for the supply line. Hum, this doesn't seem god! I checked with ETKA.
These hoses are identified on FA illustration 133-73 - items #15 Fuel
Pipe and #31 Fuel Line- Return. Are these the items that were to have
been taken care of by the recall? How can I tell if my car has had this
service completed (aside from calling the dealer).
The ends of the hoses closest to the injectors are both a little loose.
They don't leak unless I put some pressure on them and it doesn't take
much. I haven't noticed them leaking at idle but I don't want to leave
this unrepaired. What's the best, quickest, and most economical way to
repair this?
As always - TIA,
Paul Dooley
95 S6
