- 2006 Jetta Manual, stock with Panzer Plate & Franko6 modified EGR cooler & CAM
Driving in a parking lot at a flea market, I drove over what I later found to be a piece of concrete that made two scraping noises as I passed over it. Thanks be for the Panzer plate protecting my oil reservoir. Unfortunately, whatever it was apparently managed to cause damage to a fuel line or fuel cooler.
I noticed a diesel smell later while driving, then again when parked. Investigating further, I saw a small liquid spot underneath the car when parked, which by touching and smell concluded it to be a diesel leak. This spot was under the starboard passenger area, but perhaps that was due to the angle of the car when parked. The leak did not get larger over time, so it appears that it is dependent on the engine running to occur.
Has anyone else experienced such a thing? I will be investigating further tomorrow, but this is all I have so far.
