Audi A6 Recall and Repair

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:26:05 +0000

Audi Recall Summary
Volkswagen is recalling 68,240 2001-2004 Audi A6 Quattro’s with 2.7 Liter, 2.8 Liter, or 3.0 Liter engines. Also 2001-2005 AllRoad Quattro’s with 2.7 Liter or 4.2 Liter engines. The plastic material in the fuel tank rollover valve combined with bending stress from the aluminum vent line to the rollover valve nipple can crack, potentially causing a fuel leak.

Consequence
Leaking fuel can ignite and cause a car fire.

Solution
Dealers can reinforce the nipple on the rollover valve or fix the cracking at the nipple. The recall started on 6/27/08. Owners can contact Audi directly at 1-800-822-2834.

Repair Work
Remember, if you are doing your own repairs to your Audi, which is NOT recommended for recall-related repairs, it is important to use one of the good Audi repair manuals. A good repair manual will save you time, money, and ensure a quality repair.
