Petrol Leak

Picked up my first A2 on Saturday morning (one of the gang now...) by saturday evening, after around 30miles worth of driving around i noticed a strong petrol smell...when i got out, there was a leak from the pump (i think it's a pump) positioned under the rear driver's side door and i'm not talking about a trickle here, it's as if someone had turned on a tap!!

To put it in perspective, the 30miles of driving cost over a quarter of a tank of petrol!!

has anyone else come across a similar issue - it's going back to the dealer obviously but would be interested to know how big a 'fix' it is???

There was an official recall for bolts on the fuel pumps shearing, but this only applied to diesel engines, not petrol ones.

Cheers,

About a year ago I had a big petrol leak form around that area. It turned out to be the fuel filter. You can do this job for yourself, a part from Halfords will cost about £11. Got the AA to do mine!
