Description of the problem | 2019 vw volkswagen sel-p with 1600 miles. Started the car to come home from the park 2 miles away from home and halfway home the car started cutting out, had very limited power, epc light came on followed shortly by the engine light and a fuel smell. By the time i pulled into my driveway the fuel smell was very strong. Shut the vehicle off and restarted it while someone was looking in the engine compartment. It was immediately seen that a massive amount of fuel was dumping from the fuel rail/injector area at the front of the engine. Raw gas was also seen dripping onto ground. Fuel is only dumping when vehicle is started and running. Luckily drive was a short distance or it is very likely it would have caught fire due to the location of the fuel leak. |
