[s-cars] Fuel rail - recall question

[Michael Lardizabal]

Paul,

It should be an open recall from the NHTSA & AOA.

Just call your Audi dealer and give them you vin # and they can see if its been done.

Also, not sure if the S6 is the same as the S4's fuel line config out of the firewall on the drivers side, but one of them should be crimped off an inch from the FW. 

Scary stuff.

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
