What owners report
I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM COVERED UNDER RECALL 01V259000 FOR YEAR 2000 AUDI A8S, BUT I'M TOLD MY CAR IS "OUTSIDE THE BUILD DATE" COVERED. I HAVE A LARGE FUEL VAPOR LEAK AT THE FUEL FILLER NECK / EXPANSION TANK, WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT OF THE RECALL, BUT I CALLED AUDI AND THEY ARE DENYING COVERAGE OF MY CAR. I CANNOT SMOG THE CAR WITHOUT THIS BEING FIXED, AND THE CAR IS LEAKING FUEL VAPORS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE, CAUSING POLLUTION, AND RISKING A POSSIBLE FIRE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 AUDI A8. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEATER CAUGHT FIRE WHILE HE WAS IN THE VEHICLE. HE TURNED OFF THE HEAT SWITCH AND THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED. THROUGH THE INTERNET, HE DISCOVERED MORE ISSUES REGARDING THE SAME FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 111,000.
ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE WENT FLAT. THIS WAS CAUSED BY A BEADING PROBLEM BEING TO CLOSE TO THE RIMS WHICH DIDN'T ALLOW THE TIRE TO WHOLE AIR. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK *SC *JB
