Default Recalls and Repairs Finished - Finally

Originally Posted by NoVA Nav1
It has been a week since I dropped my A6 at the dealer for the two recalls and some additional work.
Recalls were done in three days but the wheel scrape repair (covered by wheel damage policy) and an on-going issue with the alarm going off after the car is parked are taking longer. The dealer servers being down for most of one day did not help.
I'm getting tired of driving a Q5 loaner around. Not an SUV guy.
Two weeks and the two recalls, wheel scrape and loss of back-up camera are repaired.
Big holdup was the camera. They attempted to update the software with the latest TSB, only to have the update not take and the computer module fail. The replacement involved removing A and B lower pillars, driver's seat, floorboards and various small pieces to replace the module. The new module took the updated software and worked fine.
Lots of work due to the location of one of the system modules. Reminds me of the need to remove the rear ejection seat of an F-4 Phantom to fix the UHF radio located under the seat. Poor engineering location of critical systems.

Default Gas smell after fuel sender recall fixed

I have a 2021 A6 with 18K miles. They did the recall fix 4 weeks ago. Car still smells like gas. Anyone else having this issue?

No gas smell in mine, but again who knows what may or may not have been spilled during the install.

Mine done this week and no smell of fuel afterwards. Was required to have 1/4 of tank or less of fuel when I took it in also had to OK it for them to drive the car around if they felt there was too much fuel in the car to do the work. Dmfligel, how much fuel was in your car when you took it in?

I think you may be unaffected as they had identified the issue by the time your car was built. This article may help https://www.autoblog.com/2022/03/21/...HRZrdKNiaJn6GC
