Hello All,
Did a quick forum search and couldn't seem to find anybody with this same issue I am having. Not a big issue but I'm quite curious as to what I've done here.
I did a ventectomy back in the summer (2014), like most people end up doing. But I seem to be leaking fuel whenever I park the car after filling it up to the brim. I used to wait for the stations pump to click and then fill up every bit I could. But after that I noticed I was leaking fuel. Seems to be passenger side. It kind of just hits everything on the way down and makes a mess so it's hard to tell. So I stopped filling the tank so full and now only let the "vent" fill up some of the way. And don't cram in as much as I used to. But I am still leaking fuel! I even parked downhill on my slanted driveway and it still leaked overnight, even after 100km on the tank.
What have I done? Is something broken? Or did I just remove an extra piece that I shouldn't have while completing the Ventectomy?
2002 NB ALH TDi 01M just in case that helps.
Thanks In advance for your help folks!
