Poll - Failed Fuel Sending Unit(s)
My FSU's failed at 50K miles, just under warranty. Now they have failed again at 65K miles. My dealer says Audi won't help because it is more than 12K miles since the repair. I've seen enough posts here about failed FSU's to know that Audi has a design issue much like the MAFs which had their warranty extended to 70K miles. And if your interested, the dealer cost to replace both units in a 225 is $910 with $550 of that being parts.
Please post here if you have, or have not, had to replace any FSU's. Please post your current mileage and the mileage when the FSU failed.
BTW, 2 out of 3 gas fillups in my car are with Chevron and the other 1 is a name brand. Always 93 octane so using cheap gas is not the issue.

Failed at 17k, currently 29k No problems since >>>
I only use Chevron 91 (it's the best I can find here) I was originally wondering if the previous owner used cheaper gas and that's why they failed. It sounds like that may not be the case though..

Failed before 12k, then again at 48k >>>
I'm now out of standard warranty. I gambled and did not buy an extended warranty.
The most recent replacement comes with the standard 12/12 warranty for the work performed. Hopefully if they do fail again, it will be within the 12/12 ...
