What Happened
The fuel supply line in your Audi A8 or S8 is a tube that carries fuel to the engine. It might develop tiny holes, allowing fuel to escape.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel line leaks, it could spill gas near the engine. If there's a spark, the fuel could ignite, causing a fire.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will add a special component to your fuel system, called a fuel pressure damper, to prevent leaks. This repair is free, and you'll be notified when it's time to bring your vehicle in.
