gas fill-up !!!
So I try to put gas in my 1.8T other day while friend is searching for something in trunk. Damn car seemed as if gas tank was full.--gas nozzle kept tripping off ! tried several times with no sucess. was about to try another service station, when trunk was shut then I tried one more time. Low and behold I'm able to fill-up as normal. What the hell did Audi do ! Has anyone else experienced this? I hope this isn't some damn "safety feature". maybe I'm venting but Audi(and most of auto manuf.s) seem to be overcomplicating things = -more devices to fail down the road.One day I may lock myself up in room with factory service manual and figure out a way to disable/remove all extra sensors/devices that are not crucial to a performance car. Anyone else have any thoughts on this ?

actually, was probably fluke, the way intake is designed, you have to hold fuel pump
at a high angle to fill up, or the air lock will keep tripping and it will keep turning off, once youre used to it though, it works everytime.
