    Just had the fuel sender and electronic module recalls completed on my S6 and the interior of the car absolutely reeks of gasoline. Is this normal for this repair?

    I just had the fuel sender recall (and gateway control module recall) done last week on my 2021 RS7. Somewhere online, I did previously read about another person who had the fuel sender recall done and his car smelled strongly of gasoline in the interior afterward. Thus, I specifically addressed that with the service advisor before I had the recall done and he said it won’t be a problem. And it wasn’t. I’m sure that your smell will dissipate soon.

    So now I am smelling fuel on the outside of the car when parked in the garage for a short bit especially with the warn temps. Didnt noticed it for the past 2 weeks since I picked it up... It does not smell at all inside. Will take it to car wash tmw to see if I can get it cleaned up well on the outside and no persistent smell.
