Which dealer?? --> Fuel smell in cold weather
#61
Yeah, the problem is that most of the rubber pipesconnections on the car have hardened with age. Even moving them is enough to break them or make them leak.
When Carlsen took mine in, they said that this might be an issue, so I told them to replace anything that they might move and any tubes that were easy to reach. They changed out maybe 10 or so hoses. They kept them for me to check over, and the hoses were almost brittle. I snapped one just by bending it. Anyway, I think I paid around $100 for hoses, but they didn't bill me for any labour and I got a lot of bad old hoses swapped out. No problems since, so I was pretty happy with that.
