[s-cars] VAG Related Question: 02 Audi TT

[Ian Duff]

FWIW, there's a venting problem on MKIV Jettas that manifests itself in a
similar, albeit far less obnoxious manner to what you describe. The fix is
to "improve" the fill vent, described here

Bear in mind, this is for a diesel, so recovery of fuel evaporation is far
less of an issue than on a gasser. I offer this only as perhaps a new data
point in your quest for a solution. HTH.

I've been in lurk mode for a year or so now now that my s6 is gone, but
trying to help my pop out with a conundrum. His TT is only taking about
1/4 gallon at a time at the pump before shutting off pump or overflowing
filler neck. He has tried alternate fill stations, different angles of
filling, slower fill rate, a dowel to create a vent in the filler neck
opening all with little impact. Fills ok from Gerry can though, but this
is not acceptable long term.  Issue is well described in link below.

This is by FAR the best explanation of issue I've seen, albeit for a
Hyundai. His local mechanic says whole tank must be replaced to remedy
issue which necessitates half shaft removal. Tank cost is 1800 and 200 or
so for labor

Has anyone encountered this issue on another OBD 2 VAG product and if so
how was it remedied?  Lots of others on inter webs seem to say Stealership
replaced tanks on many cars for same issue, but mostly B5 or B6 A4's that
I read about. 

Thanks in advance
