[Stephb1986]

Hi all im new here but my OH has just noticed that his Audi A4 2.8 v6 quattro is leaking petrol from the thread thats near the petrol filter if that makes sense?

what should he do?

Any advice appreciated

Fix it, but dont smoke.

Sorry, but do you really need to come to a forum to ask that type of question? You have a potential for a fire, explosion or even someone dying, get it seen too pretty damn quick.

sorry i didnt realise the forum police was here, what are you doing on this forum if you know all the answers. I was asking a simple question to stop it leaking until he can get it to a garage. I guess the question was too hard for you.

You'll find that it is common sense more than anything else.

Telephone/garage/urgent.

Not forum police at all, as Glassman says, its common sense really.

As for me knowing all the answers, you asked for an answer and i gave it, it was "get it fixed asap", for your own sake and for your husbands sake, not for mine. I was actually thinking of potentially, saving your life.

Thank you

I knew he had to get it fixed you didnt have to tell me that bit! I was asking what could he stop it with until he got to a garage because he was in work and if it carried on leaking he wouldnt of had enough petrol to get home. He's taken it to a garage this morning so hopefully it gets fixed

You didnt say anything of the kind in your first post. Perhaps if you re-read it yourself, then you will see why i answered it as i did.

Sorry, but are you blonde by any chance

[Stephb1986]

No im not blonde ha ha

I did put it's leaking petrol so first of all he needed to stop the petrol from coming out would of been the first thing surely??

actually agree with you, it was rather an unnecessary response.

Unfortunately I couldn't picture the part and mine is parked up a distance away so unable to help!
