I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH A GAS SMELL THAT ARISES FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR OVER 4 YEARS-- I WAS ENCOURAGE TO CHANGE MY FUEL PUMP BY VW DEALER-- BUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I WAS ENCOURAGED TO ONLY PUT PREMIUM GRADE A GAS AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANERS WHICH I DID REPEATEDLY, UNFORTUNATELY THE SMELL WORSENED UNTIL THE DAY I WENT TO REGISTER MY CAR AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A VISIBLE FUEL LEAK FROM UNDER THE MANIFOLD AND IT WAS A SLOW DRIP THAT WAS EVAPORATING OFF THE ENGINE HEAD. I WAS TOLD THE CAR COULD COMBUST AT ANY TIME. I WENT TO THE NEARER VW AND THE PROBLEM THAT NO ONE COULD FIGURE OUT FOR YEARS WAS A "FUEL LINE TO HIGH PRESSURE PUMP" $ 399 TOTAL-- I NO LONGER HAVE THIS FUEL SMELL. BUT BASED ON MY RESEARCH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VW'S ALL MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE .THE FUEL SMELL WAS NOTED THE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 20,000 MILES AND THE HOSE GAVE OUT AT 70,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A REPORTABLE INCIDENT FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL.
