Default After fueling car won't start. Why?

Greetings, I'm having the worst time with this problem with the gas. No one can give me straight answer/fix for it. I've taken to Audi. They say the cam shaft follower fuel pump n gaskets. Had that done. Still same problem. Them had a valve replaced. Still same problem. Does anyone have a solution to your problem.
Only deal with euro dealers but this seems to be a big problem. I'm now out of 1500.00 so far..

My car is 2008 Audi a4 s line white 84k miles. That has to be pumped in order to start after pumping gas.. Please help.. I hope your still in this system..

I would suggest replacing the evap purge valve, as this is the culprit on older audi's too.

Also have you scanned the car for fault codes?

+1 on both of Chenga's responses. Pull codes. I had this same problem in an old car that I had - car would run and start fine. I'd stop to pump gas and get back in and it wouldn't start. I'd have to step on the throttle to get it to start.

It was a problem in the evap system. The parts for that car (a Bonneville - purge valve, solenoid, and a part for the fuel pump) only cost about $90 and the diagnosis would have cost $150 so I changed all 3 parts without diagnosing and it worked fine after that.

Pull the codes and change out your evap purge valve ...that's my guess.

My car had codes but the guy who changed my oil cleared the code but audi did a full diagnostic. Yes the gave a code for p1093. Found tsb removed high pressure pump and fowler found it had a hole worn into it cam lobe was worn and high pressure pump was damaged.

83780 worn cam shaft high pressure pump lobe need to replaced intake cam with updated version checked faults.
