Tank Filler Pipe And Cap Problems of Audi A4

This is due to the failure of the vto fuel pump on an 04 Audi A4 manufactured date of 6/2003. I have had to replace this pump due to failure, this failure was premature and hazardous due to the nature of the part. I was lucky and the fuel pump did not fail while driving. The issue began on or around July of 2009 with a whining sound coming from the rear of the car, this was traced down to the fuel pump. Upon dealer inspection and research most people remedied the problem by replacing the fuel filter, this was done on July 20th 2009 with a Audi factory part purchased from Audi. This fixed the sound issue until October of 09. The replaced filter was not clogged catastrophically but was not as passive as the new filter. In October the sound returned and knowing the filter had been replaced I new it was the pump. On November 5th 2009 the car would not start, the pump would not prime. After inspecting the tank and the pump there was no debris in the tank nor in the surge tank around the pump. This vehicle has been serviced more than most cars with premium 91 gas used the entire time I have owned it. The vehicle only had 60k miles on it and has had two filter changes, one at 30k and the other at 47k due to another issue and possible cause. But three filters in a car that had 60k is ridiculous for a vehicle.

Heard a whisping noise coming from the rear right wheel well. It got progressively louder. Dealer inspected and found that the fuel pump was failing due to pieces of the fuel filter from the previous fuel pump replacement floating around in the gas tank. 1 month later, after moving to a new state, driving about 1100 miles, the sound of whisping or a card in the spokes of a bike wheel was coming from the same right rear area in front of the wheel well. The dealer in the new state said that the fuel filter needed to be replaced.

Extreme difficultyfueling car - pump shuts off continuously and forumsseem to indicate that this is not an isolated problem abd has occurred with other cars. Have been to dealer and only advice is to replace fueld tank at a cost of some $2,000 - car has 45,000 miles.

I have a brand new 2004 Audi A4avantquattro 1. 8. On July 1, with 2389 miles on the car, I had a blowout of my right rear tire, which is a goodyear m&s r235/17 low profile high performance tire. I never had a sensation of hitting anything on the road, but had only seconds to get from the fast lane of I-5 in downtown sacramento, CA across 5 lanes of freeway traffic and around a caltrans maintenence crew on the shoulder, to safety. By the time I did, the tire tread had completely separated on both sides of the wheel 360 degrees. Six days later, while having the tire replaced at a local tire store, the check engine light came on in the car. I took it to the dealer at my next opportunity, with now 2750 miles on the car. I was told that the filler hose to the gas tank was punctured, requiring the replacement of the entire gas tank, as it is all one peice, that the wires connecting the fuel system to the central computer were damaged and had to be replaced, that a hole in the sheath around the shock absorber on that wheel had been punctured, requiring possible replacement of the entire shock, and that the entire wheel liner on that wheel was gone and had to be replaced. The estimated cost for this is somewhere between $1600-2000. Neither Audi, nor the dealership, thus far has taken any responsibility for the design flaws that created the possibility for such damage from a flat tire. I frequently drive alone, and we live in a high fire danger area. I was driving around with a leaky gas tank for 5 days before the "check engine" light even went on, not to mention the fact that a faulty shock absorber could have caused my all wheel drive to fail. I feel that this car is unsafe for me to drive.
