there is a german forum that a guy set up moaning that his lambo pulled to on side for no apparent reason on the autobahn and nearly killed him and his mate . He then set up a web site and to his suprise got lots of feedback from other owners with similar problems , also some mentioning about fires too. it appears that they share a fuel rail with an A4 which sometimes stick open and piss unburnt fuel on hot cats !

Not only does VAG's current range only make sense from the perspective of British Leyland in the 1970s, Rover SD1s used to do that!

Basically, the SU carbs' floats didn't, and the valley of teh V8 filled up with petrol. With hilarious consequences...
