What Happened
The fuel pump flange in your Audi is the part that connects the pump to the fuel tank. Over time, it can crack and start leaking fuel, which can cause a fire if there's an ignition source nearby.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange cracks and leaks fuel, it could ignite if there's a spark, like from a faulty electrical system or a hot exhaust component. This could cause a fire that could spread quickly.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will inspect the fuel pump flange and either replace it if it's cracked, clean it, and apply a protective rubber band if it's not cracked. All of this will be done at no cost to you.
