S6 AAN Fuel Leak

[Sir Will]

Evening Gents,

My Ur-S6 has had a couple of issues starting of late, just kept turning over and not kicking into life. Thought it could be something to do with the auto choke or ECU.

Took a further look tonight and it looks like I have a minor leak from the fuel lines, there is a little drip from one of the connectors on the fuel line half way down the car under the drivers side.

Now no doubt this has been covered before, new pipe or simply a little plastic connector needed?

Or will the only option been to invest in a V10 RS6?

Fuel lines are known to leak near the fuel filter but rarely anywhere else. If they do leak where you are saying, it is likely due to corrosion. If so, you don't really have much choice: New fuel lines from the dealer, salvage some good fuel lines from a breaker (C4 100 or A6 will probably work fine) or have a professional make you new ones.

Here is some fuel system info that you might find useful:

Have a look at this pdf to see if anything looks familiar:

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

I was hoping you would tell me the only option was to buy an RS6...
