First time, I went to fill up after a long highway drive. Second time, it was in the morning on the way to work. Ihope its just a passing thing cuz I'd hate to have to deal with this until somethign major needs to be fixed. =(

It's back....... zombie thread!

Brand new 2012 A3 TDI. First fill up fine, the next two, absolute pain in the ****. Takes a million pump clicks, each one shuts off, and the tank never ends up fuel. Going back to the dealer with it this week.

Two different stations, btw.

if it keeps clicking off its most probably a bad charcoal canister.

Here is a fix that I am using on my wife's A4 with the same exact problem.
Buy a long phillips head screwdriver and use it to push open the flap door in the fuel fill pipe when you are refueling your Audi. The problem may be caused by a defective valve in the fill pipe assembly. In a FWD Audi the valve can be replaced easily but for AWD A4s and S4s there is much more work involved to change the valve. If I remember correctly the fuel tank and rear axle need to be removed to change the valve. I have the valve but the screw driver method works OK so until I need to remove the rear axle for another repair I will continue my bad practice of venting refueling vapor in the atmosphere like cars have done for the past 100 year or so!

I changed the vapor recovery under the car but it's still doing it. What is the common problem outside of the vapor recovery that I can check next
