Re: 2001 A4 Fueling problems
 

Hi!

I also had that problem with a 2003 A4.
I found out that if I didn't put the nozzle all the way in so the angle
became more horizontal the latch would hold.

There was certainly a technique that I had to learn but when that was found
I never experienced the problem again.

Good luck!
