[s-cars] Fuel rail - recall question

[Peter Golledge]

Remove them and have a new set of hoses fabricated by an industrial hose
shop.  Fuel line leaks are not fun, particularly in a car with a nice hot
turbo.  BTDT with the 95.5 S6.

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
