Guys,

My Y plate 2001 A3 1.8T Quattro is smelling slightly of petrol in the cab area when the vehicle comes to a stop after a journey. I have searched the forum and have seen posts that relate to A6 problems like this but wasn't sure if an answer was actually ever found.

I took the car to my local garage and it has two fault codes logged, 17545 and 17705, one is running rich and the other was a pressure issue from memory of what he said.

Does anyone know what is the best course of action on this one??

Many thanks

Found the problem.....it was a perished pipe coming off the cam breather......changed and smell has gone :)
