HI A2 Fans!
I am irish but living in Germany and bought an A2 1.6 FSI S-line 3 months
ago. Unfortunately we have been having some problems with our car and as there
are no A2 clubs in Ireland or Germany I am hoping you may be able to help
us. WE have a loud whistling / whining noise that comes for the petrol tank
area when the car is hot. We have had the petrol pump exchanged but it
hasn't helped. Neither our car dealer nor Audi seem to be able to solve the
problem for us.
> Have any of you ever had this problem.....do any of you have the FSI
engine with similar problems??

Could it be air being sucked into (or expelled from) the tank through a small hole? Maybe there is a blocked breather or something like that?

martinw-I like your idea of the breather pipe, but I thought that was what the exhaust gas recirculation valve was for (thats what my dealer told me-EEC regulations state no fumes should be able to escape from the fuel tanke, and that the EGRV on the Audi burns these excess fumes off)?.

I did read that one drop of spilt fuel on the forcourt is more damaging than using the whole tank you've just filled up in your car!

Not more harmfull to my wallet!

Steve, you're probably right about the closed system - my car tinkering days were a long time ago!
Still, perhaps it's an air leak in the closed system? I'm sure Audi will find it eventaully:D
