Hi guys,

I have took my car to the dealer to fix the starter problem (that was little bit hard start before), when the car came back, I feel like it's consuming more petrol then before, my wife and I can smell the petrol when we get out of the car. Just wondering does anyone know what's going on? Is it petrol leaking somewhere?

Please help! Thanks heaps!

It's quite possible that you have petrol leaking. You need to get this fixed right away so your car doesn't catch on fire. I'd take it back to the place that did the work and make them fix it. It's possible that they disturbed a fuel line while they were replacing your starter.

There is an extended warranty of the fuel pump on my N. Amer 02 T6 (200k 10 years). The primary system is smelling fuel.
