Re: Fuel lines

["D.A.K." <dak@rochester.rr.com>]

On my '91 200q20v, the fuel lines had been replaced from just under the front
heat sheild to fairly far back using copper. The mechanic at the Audi dealer
where I bought the car said it was a good repair. He said that the lines tend
to corrode when water collects under the heat sheild. I hadn't heard of that
before.
