I've never liked this story.  Audi is supposedly incapable of flushing
out a petrol tank before delivering a car?  Anyway, it's in - and seems
to have caught something.

True.  I noted when playing with my new fuel injection pressure gauge
that system pressure _really_ flies up when the pump cuts in and before
everything gets under control.  The dial shows a transient peak of about
17 bar.
