| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The fuel line leaked as i started the car. i smelled gas, turned it off and investigated. fuel was dripping from the fitting. the fitting is right above the distributor and close to the exhaust manifold. a fire was likely if i had driven the van. i replaced the line, paid out of pocket since vw does not see this as a manufacturing defect. i have replaced line but a gas smell persists and is probably linked to a bad vapor recovery system. this vehicle has problems with fuel lines, as other owners can testify. there have only been 10 000 sold in the us and a reported 3 have caught on fire and i know of several in canada. *ak |
