Rappel A6 4.2 S6 RS6

[Simplex]

J'ai vu qu'Audi of America rappelle toutes les A6 4.2 pour un probleme de fuite de reservoir d'essence qui vient d'une connexion en haut.

 

C'est un probleme connu et assez courant qui se presente d'abord par une forte odeur d'essence.

 

Je me demande si Audi France va les rappeler aussi...

 

Si quelqu'un a des infos, je suis preneur :bien:

Intéressant ça...

 

De mon côté pas d'odeur, ni fuite pour le moment.
